UI freezes when debugging breakpoints or hitting exceptions?
Is this a known issue with an existing fix? Any time I hit a breakpoint the entire UI freezes. I cant type, cant scroll, I cant access any debug windows/terminal, the stop/continue buttons are completely non-responsive. There's no visual feedback when hovering any buttons or other UI elements…
I either have to force close the entire IDE or hope i'm able to step my way to closing the program via hotkeys.
To clarify - hotkeys DO work completely fine and the UI updates accordingly as I step through the code that way.
Currently running 2026.1.2 on NixOS

Tony this sounds like a known issue that can affect GNOME and KDE environments where debugging an application capable of grabbing a mouse pointer (often happens in game engines) leads to this behavior. The solution will depend on the environment. Are you running under X11 or Wayland? Could you describe the type of application you are trying to debug (e.g. Unity/Unreal game, Avalonia application, etc.)
