Suspend VM not resuming on F6 or F8 [message #1815273]

I upgraded to 2019-09 this weekend, and I've created a new project. At some point I setup the default breakpoint activity to be Suspend VM, so now all breakpoints suspend the VM. The problem on this new project is that the suspended VM is not resuming when I press F6 or F8. Only the current thread.

Is there a setting to turn off the Suspend VM default? I can't find it. The place I set it up previously seems to have moved.

Or, am I doing something wrong in this project by having it not restart the other suspended threads?

Hi

If you want to resume, I find that JDT resumes wrt to the current stack trace selection, so if your selection is in a particular thread just that thread resumes. If you want to resume all threads, select something higher up the stack trace tree such as the Launch or Process

How can I turn off the default setting to suspend the whole VM when I add a new breakpoint? It used to just suspend the current thread by default. I changed the default and I can't figure out how to change it back.

Is there an XML or text file I can manually edit? Or a menu option somewhere?
