Eclipse PyDev Breakpoints Show an Different Icon and Don't Work
Question: Breakpoints have been working for me for many weeks, but yesterday they
stopped working. When I create a breakpoint icon shown is not the usual
magnifying glass, but instead is the magnifying glass with a line through it.

I tried the suggestions in [pydev breakpoints not
working](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9486871/pydev-breakpoints-not-
working)

E.g.

    
    
    import sys
    print 'current trace function', sys.gettrace()
    

which reports "current trace function main.PyDB object at 0x101416090>> "

I tried accessing breakpoints in another Python project and the breakpoints
there have the same problem. Restarting Eclipse, the Mac and reinstalling
PyDev had no effect.

I tried installing PyDev in another Eclipse installation on my Mac and
breakpoints in Python work find there.

Any ideas, anyone?


Answer: screenshot should be like this:

That is because you have enable "skip all breakpoints" in Eclipse, show it
