How to turn off Fiddler breakpoints


I am using Fiddler v4.4.1.1 beta.

I once activated automatic before the request breakpoint. Now I have disabled it back, but Fiddler continues to break. I do not know what to do.

Observe:

Notice, the breakpoints are disabled and the same tells the status line - there is no breakpoint icon there.

Yet, the breakpoint is still active:

I cannot use Fiddler any more.

I have issued the bpafter, bps, bpv, bpm and bpu commands without any arguments to clear any possible breakpoint. I have never thought I would ever call Fiddler like this, but it continues to break.


Solution

  • I finally found it.

    There is another place where breakpoints are exposed - the filter tab, which I often use, but never knew it controls breakpoints as well:

    The confusing part is that I have never touched this option - only used the host filter part. Apparently, setting an auto breakpoint in the rules menu now sets this flag too, silently. But it is not cleared back when I disable the breakpoint, which is a terrible UI experience.
