I inadvertently confused insight versions, my former comments (deleted) were about an older version, version 1.23 does much better and is really usable, anyway better than ZD86.

Ah, OK. I already wondered, why those bugs don't occur here.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

About two-three years ago I downloaded and tested insight and it made me a very bad impression. I asked myself how it's possible for an author to publicly release such a poor work. When I saw that you announced a new version I thought to give it a try again. The problem is that I simply forgot that ancient version somewhere in the path, and initially I retested that version instead of testing 1.23. Unfortunately I realized that the version is not 1.23 only after I posted in your forum. We should be happy that insight looks now like a real debugger and should thank Oleg O. Chukaev for his wonderful work. Let's hope insight will find a lot of users. It deserves!
