The script debugger in earlier versions would pause when it hit a pause script step. It wouldn't release and continue until the operator interacted with the application in a way that would release it. (Hitting enter or hitting a button with a resume script command attached and so forth.)

In the new version if I continue to hit advance in script debugger when it has encountered a pause it just continues on. It doesn't require an interaction with the application like the operator would have to do.

Since I tend to be slap happy on the advance button in the bugger this is a hassle; making the tool less useful for me. Am I missing something? Has anyone else found this to be the case?

My observation of the Debugger is hitting any of the advance buttons in the debugger when the a script is paused will act the same as if you hit continue or enter and continue the script.

I don't think this behavior makes the tool any less useful, maybe "different useful," and annoying because it required a change in my behavior. But it's probably more intuitive to someone who never used pre-9A.

I take it (and some other seemingly pointless changes in the Debugger) as a lesson for my developing...Don't change something in an existing solution unless there's a really good reason too.
