I have a sizeable (1200 line) XSLT where I have activated a number of breakpoints. All breakpoints are in areas where the XSLT has got to run. Regardless of whether I use F5 or green debug symbol, the breakpoints are ignored. The XSLT merely runs. The same happens with a much smaller XSLT.
I can do a trick that will allow single stepping. If I use F5 and quickly click yellow debug symbol, program stops at the first template match, and I can single step with F10 and F11. However, this is not a sustainable method of debugging.

Hi again, Ivan,
I think this is a memory problem. For the experiment of it, I closed all other open files, and kept only the XSLT in question open. Suddenly the debugger stops at the first breakpoint. It seems to work.
I have seen a number of such problems in the discussion forum. Perhaps a suggested 'fix' is to close unecessary open files and/or break down the XSLT into smaller portions, when encountering this form of behaviour.
