I'd say that the best approach in this case is to create an issue for this problem and fix the issue. I did not notice that others would revert their work as soon as a bug occurs. Everyone introduces a bug from time to time. And usually, we're able to fix them.
The given commit was a bit more risky as it had to touch the core functionality. It usually takes some time till the product is completely tested. I'll create an issue for this problem. Thanks for finding it, I'm going to address the issue...

I raise it here and now, because reverting the initial changes alone does not help anymore. The problem starts with this PR: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3158__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!ebawpzNS-ocoZ2a4VAyEURgvqtT2yArecJIJ7Vm7ljt_EZmpzfl7vLc6Y8jSXXwwoFcL$ that was reverted via https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3181__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!ebawpzNS-ocoZ2a4VAyEURgvqtT2yArecJIJ7Vm7ljt_EZmpzfl7vLc6Y8jSXTmAPyF_$ and resubmitted as https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3204__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!ebawpzNS-ocoZ2a4VAyEURgvqtT2yArecJIJ7Vm7ljt_EZmpzfl7vLc6Y8jSXdVwV0lx$ After the merge of PR3204 it looked ok, but I did not test with "Suspend all threads" and this is now totally broken in NetBeans master. See the final comment in PR 3204 for a description of the issue. The big question is: What to do about this? A trivial revert fails as there are conflicting changes in the area. The best case scenario: Debugging will be fixed and be stable again as it was in the past. Worst case scenario: We revert all changes, that touch the JPDA code and everything, that causes conflicts. I would prefer the best case scenario.
