Does anybody have insights into why it became so much more common in the past year or so for Xcode to cause keyboard input on the whole Mac to be blocked (including in Xcode!) while stopped in the debugger? I think it has to do with event routing or something but it's infuriating.

@siracusa @danielpunkass my working hypothesis is that it's to do with the particular location of a breakpoint, when I've seen it, but that's all I got. "oh, guess I shouldn't stop there.”

@nothe @siracusa I have sometimes had to add artifiical DispatchQueue asyncs just to stop at the code I want to debug at a more opportune time. Just when I thought lldb couldn't get less reliable...

@danielpunkass @siracusa ha! I've been having _words_ with it this week, already. “are you just thinking extra slow, or are you crashing?” "I'll get back to you on that, in 30 secs or so!”
