VW7.7 - debugger - run-to-caret ...

Is it just me, or does run-to-caret not work correctly in VW7.7??

I find that most of the time, no matter where I put the caret, it runs
to the
point of return from the method???

Do you have an example Dennis? We did make changes in run to caret. If
anything, it was our hope that we made it better. There were numerous
ARs about edge cases where step and run til caret didn't do the right
thing. We certainly didn't try to break anything, and I've had less
spurious UHEs from the debugger since 7.7.

Oops -- I looked more carefully -- and I was using the wrong button :(

Seems the new icon for "Run this Context" looks much like the "Run to
Caret",
Sorry !
