long running loops becomes non-debuggable in intellij

Question

I use IntelliJ to develop and debug applications. Many times I hot-swap classes as part of debugging. Some time (just sometimes) I am unable to set break points in newly added code. The IDE shows that the break point is valid-- but does not stop there.

I observed that this happens with loops that ran many many times. Any one faced similar problem? How can I fix this?

(Intellj8, JDK 1.6.x)

Answer 1

Place a breakpoint where the many times running loop is and restart the test.
