A checkmark is displayed beside the menu item indicating the Debug (Read-Only) tab is enabled. Note: Show Debug Window will be disabled if the tabs contain libraries only or if the script or any linked library is protected with an implicit password and the current user does not have rights to see the source code. The Debug (Read-Only) tab displays an exact copy of the script, including the Globals section, the main script and all linked libraries in the order they are displayed in the tab list of the script editor window. Within the Debug (Read-Only) tab, you can set or remove breakpoints. At any line, you can also select Go To Source Code from the pop-up menu (right-click) which will switch the focus to the corresponding tab and jump to the appropriate line. During debugging you can step into or over the current line or watch variables using the corresponding menu items, toolbar icons or hotkeys.
