Anyone out there having problems with the Debugger in Acrobat X utilizing XFA forms developed in Livecycle Designer ES2 (9.0.0...)?
 
Thanks,

I don't use the debugger. I find that it has very poor performance and tends to crash Acrobat. I wouldn't trust it. You're better off just printing to the console.

But otherwise, what is the debugger's "When Exception is Thrown" preference? There are execution contexts where the exceptions don't always bubble up. If you set the preference to "break", Acrobat usually catches more exceptions.
