Execution tracking stops showing a yellow arrow after a breakpoint

bazzilicbazzilic
Steps to reproduce
1. Start script execution
2. During execution, put a breakpoint ahead of the currently executed line (e.g., in a loop)
3. When execution pauses at breakpoint, remove the breakpoint and press F5 to resume

Expected
Yellow arrow still tracks execution

Actual
Yellow arrow disappears. Disabling & re-enabling auto track feature doesn't help. Ctrl+Shift+J still jumps to the currently executed line.

    I can't reproduce this. Can you post a script?

    Actually, I noticed now that it says in the bottom "execution tracking timed out". Is it possible to extend tracking period? Didn't find anything in the preferences menu.

    Execution tracking incurs an overhead, and LINQPad constantly monitors the overhead to ensure that it doesn't exceed around 5%. The timeout message occurs when this overhead is exceeded, and this usually happens only in special scenarios, when it takes unusually long to obtain a stack trace.

    It's possible, though, that a debugger breakpoint could create a race that could result in a false positive. If you can reproduce it, post the script and I'll have a look.
