CCS v6 Debug missing from toolbar menu

Ant Scranney

Hi,

I have been running CCS v6 for about a month now, it's been working fine until about 30 minutes ago. I put my system into standby and came back to carry on working, but my toolbar menu is missing items most importantly the debug button (I can get round this with F11) as well as a few other buttons. I use the default view as has pretty much all I need, the screenshot shows the current issue.

Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Ant

Hi Ant,

Maybe if you select "Debug" under View drop down menu, the debug icon will appear at your toolbar.

Hi Markel,

Thanks for the quick response, I did try that and it just opens a small debug sub-window, as per the image below.

Meant to add I have also tried Customize Perspective from the Window menu, not sure if this is related to the issue?

Regards,

Ant

Hi Ant,

I am able to make the debug button at toolbar disappear if I "uncheck" the "Launch" check box at Customize Perspective - CCS Edit.

Hi Markel,

Tried that this morning in various combinations by unticking all of Launch and just Debug but still the same issue.

I have just opened a new workspace now and that resolved the issue.

There does not appear to be a reset to defaults that restores the default CCS menu settings?

There is an option to reset the perspective to default settings:

Hi Ki,

That is a very useful link I have deleted the old workspace now so cannot test it, but making a new workspace solved the issue.

Cheers,

Ant

Yeah, using a clean new workspace would reset everything to default. It's actually not a bad thing to do every now and then (like running some kind of cache cleaner on your smartphone) but if you just need the GUI reset quickly, it can be overkill.

FYI: I tried the reset. It did not help. Making a new workspace did. I was not seeing the stop debug button, run button or step buttons.
