Debugger does not work on Linux mint when other gnome-terminals are running before

[de-jcup]

Situation

• Environment:

  • Linux mint
  • Eclipse 2022-03
  • Bash Editor V2.8.0

• Example code

#!/bin/bash 

echo "hello" # make a break point at this line and start debugger...
echo "world"

When starting the debugger the break point is reached any longer. The break point vanishes also after the run!
Did not found any problem logs inside error log view.

Wanted

Shall work again...

Solution

Analyze problem and fix it.

Does also not work on older eclipse - so not eclipse specific. Seems to be more a OS problem.

Analyze

• I have this problem only when another gnome terminal is already running before!
• When other terminal windows are closed and debugger started again, the debugging does work as expected!
• When the problem appears, the break points do also vanish from editor (at least in an older eclipse version)!
