Often when I hover over a variable while debugging, eclipse disables all the "step over", "step into", "resume" debug buttons in the toolbar. I can no longer use these buttons and hotkey F6 F8 etc also will not work. I have to restart the application to start a new debug session.

Is this a known bug? How am I supposed to debug this way?

Using the newest eclipse version.

Which “newest Eclipse version” exactly? Which programming language are you debugging with which debugging plugin? Google finds several bugs related to that toolbar. In my case, it disappeared after a 4.3 update for PHP debugging with PDT; all I had to do is context-click and re-enable it (the shortcuts were still working). The discussion of bugs, especially of new(est) Eclipse versions, does not belong here. – PointedEars yesterday
