Question from the Adobe Acrobat Facebook page:
Will Adobe be fixing the Javascript debugger anytime soon? It's almost unusable on Mac OS X.

There are many UI drawing issues in the debugger window on Mac OS X. I'm using Acrobat 10.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

Not only that, but Acrobat consistently crashes when debugging is enabled and an error is generated, making this feature essentially useless on the Mac, for me at least.

It seems that everybody has a slightly different effect (but with the same result… making Acrobat X Mac useless for any kind of serious development).
For me, the Console part works, and even error messages are displayed (some with wrong and/or misleading error texts, but that's another story).
However, I can not select any script, which makes it impossible to add breakpoints etc.

The debugger on windows isn't much better, it consistently crashes Acrobat:( But I've written some pretty long and complex scripts, and the console window works just fine. Acrobat ain't an IDE.
