MT4 debugger does not stop at breakpoint

Ex Ovo Omnia:
It is so simple, that there is probably no need for discussion. I am surprised that it does not work for you; actually it has been working for me from the very beginning, whichever symbol or timeframe I set. There are issues - the Terminal gets frozen with the debugger frequently (so the editor seems dead as well until the terminal gets killed).

It can evaluate the watch variables, though it can't inspect content of objects. It works correctly with macro substitutions and templates. It does not reveal the original object type if the object is casted.
What I am missing most is that it does not evaluate the return values, nor the parameters at a function entry point.

I tried few times to code with this language, but everytime I need to do simple thing, I get blocked like here and probably thats why I drop it and go back to my old good PHP. Maybe overtime will learn those bullshits and will be productive? {quote} I have googled and in one post the guy says it is so simple that there is nothing to diiscuss. So if it is so simple why it does not...

{quote} Wow. Thats sick. And I was trying to find so hard and wasting my time trying to do impossible. And when the broker turns data on weekends that means it is impossible to debug a program on weekends? what the hell, what were they thinking when doing this tool. And why so many people still use MT4 ? when I download some script for exmaple - it is for MT4
