CLion Debugger Stops Working After Initial Round

Hi all, I am having an infuriating problem and none of the other posts related to this issue have helped me.  I ran into a problem where the CLion debugger simply doesn't stop on any breakpoint.  The catch is that this only happens after the first few rounds of using the debugger.

Restarting my computer, re-launching CLion, and then debugging works for a few (I have not been able to get a precise count) rounds before failing to stop on breakpoints.  Restarting the computer is the only thing that fixes this issue.  Obviously, restarting my computer every 10 minutes as a work around is not acceptable.

I will note that I'm using Max OS X 10.12 and am running Clion 2018.2.4.  I will also note that after the computer restart, at the initial debug session, I always get a dialog that says "developer tools access is trying to take control of another process" and it prompts me for my password. I only include this info because it my be relevant to the issue and I don't recall it happening in other IDEs where I've had no issues with the debugger.  After providing the password the initial few debug sessions work as expected, until they don't.

Can someone please point me to anything that will help?  I will not be able to continue using CLion if I can't get this figured out soon, I'll have to switch to XCode.

Hi! Could you please enable debug logging by entering `#com.jetbrains.cidr.execution.debugger` into `Help | Debug Log Settings`, reproduce the problem and send us idea.log (`Help | Show Log in Finder`) to clion-support at jetbrains.com. Do not forget to disable debug logging after that.
