(adding this to an old thread so I can find the answer 2 years from now...) My structure file was crashing the instant it hit the debugger (v17.2).
Here's how to clear your debugger expression pain: https://kb.4d.com/assetid=78161 "If by accident an expression is added and saved to the pane that executes code that causes issue it is possible to clear the expressions by holding down the *SHIFT* button while the debugger is opened. After the debugger is opened with the cleared expression pane it is important to save a new set of expressions or else the next time the expression pane is opened the last saved set of expression (the one that were possibly causing issues) will return." (Click the Save icon) Also found the answer here from Achim PESCHKE: https://forums.4d.com/Post/EN/3360111/1/3360112#3368866 The debugger expressions _are_ stored in the structure. This happened when I tried the same structure on different machines. As for v18 Project Mode? Next to the project folder: Project userPreferences.[macOSUserName] debuggerWatches.json So nice! BTW - I think converting your structure to project mode clears the debugger pane - not that it helps you if you aren't ready to use project mode.
