Description

Environment information

  • Operating System: 6.5.0-kali3-amd64 2023-10-09 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • Cutter version: 2.3.2-0kali1+b1
  • Obtained from: Kali repository

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start cutter, open a C++ compiled .bin program
  2. When main windows shows up, click on Windows
  3. Scroll down to debug
  4. Only breakpoints option is enabled in the menu, i can see others but cannot enable them

Expected behavior Being able to enable/access the other debugging windows (other that breakpoints)

(I'm also searching for great cutter tutorials or channel specialised in reverse on youtube, if you have some i would be interested)

Research direction
Examine the menu enabling logic for debug windows, likely in the main window or debug related source files. Look for conditions that enable/disable individual menu items (e.g., breakpoints). The bug may be that other debug windows are incorrectly disabled due to a missing condition or logic error. Check the state of the debugger when the menu is populated and identify where the breakpoints option is enabled while others are not.
