Stopping the Debugger Window From Moving to the Front

When you let the debuggee continue executing in the background and the debugger window is not the frontmost window, the debugger window moves to the front when some event causes the debuggee to stop executing. Events inlcude hitting a breakpoint, watchpoint, or synchpoint, reaching the end of a program, or if a signal or exception causes the debuggee to stop. This feature is enabled by default.

To stop the debugger from automatically moving to the front when the debuggee stops executing:

  1. Select Options > GUI Preferences..... The GUI Preferences dialog box opens.
  2. Select General in the left-hand navigation pane.
  3. Uncheck the Bring debugger window to front when execution stops checkbox.
