Flex debugger constantly disconnecting

Are you on Linux?  If so this seems to be a common problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1421

I've only been able to workaround it by downgrading to Flash Player 9.

Ah, thank you.  Yes, I am on Linux.

Unfortunately downgrading to Flash Player 9 is not an option for me, since the Flash Player 9 debugger is not supported on a 64 bit architecture.

Btw, any insider information on when the bug will be fixed :) ?

No.  I think they need a simple reproducible test case.  I haven't been able to create on with a simple app and the command line debugger.

Sometimes when I am debugging my Flex project, I won't be disconnected, but the debugger will stop working properly.  In this state, variables will be empty when I inspect or expand them, and if I click the "Stop" button to disconnect, my Flex application won't resume normal operation.  Sometimes I won't even be able to step any further in the code.

Have these behaviors been observed in other projects?  Does this sound like a result of the aforementioned Adobe bug?  It could also be due to the complexity of my Flex project -- not sure.  Are there logfiles I can look at, or some other way to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

There is simple and reproducible example of Flash Player crash. I opened a dedicated issue for that (FP-FP-4911), but it is hidden so I don't know if it is fixed.
I also copied its description as a comment, but as usual see no reaction.

I suppose that this is because of Adobe's bug.
It is possible to get full communication logs of IDEA with debugger. To do this please do following:
- remove old logs from <idea.system.path>/log/*.* (idea.system.path  property is set in the file <IDEA installation>/bin/idea.properties)
- edit file <IDEA installation>/bin/log.xml and add following category there:

   <category name="com.intellij.lang.javascript.flex.debug">
     <priority value="DEBUG"/>
   </category>
...

- launch IDEA, reproduce the problem

After that <idea.system.path>/log/idea.log file will contain low-level technical info about debugger session.
