Selecting Run with debug in Lazarus causes Lazarus to hang

[GSM]

Windows XP, Lazarus #0.9.28.2.beta, FPC 2.4.2;

Selecting 'Run' in the Run Menu with debugger enabled opens the Compile Project Window.  The compile line count remains zero and everything hangs.  Clicking on the Close Button in the Compile Project Window or anywhere else  in the Lazarus Window causes a BEEP.  The only way to clear the problem is to kill Lazarus in the Windows Task manager. 

Selecting 'Build' or 'Build All' in the Run Menu produces a clean compile.

I don't use Windows more than a year but I remember that there was necessary click on "Reset debugger" in "Run" menu before every Run - otherwise it hanged.

Sounds like ani issue with compiling? after all it hangs in the compiler-dialog, if I understand correctly?
That's, way before debugging.

You say "if you click all it does is a beep".
That  sounds like an other modal form, somewhere preventing the rest of the IDE from reacting.
It may be that there was a crash, and the crash-dialog is hidden behind the compiler form, or similar...

Normally i would say to start with debug-log, or even debug the IDE, to find what it is.

But at current I would simply suggest to upgrade to a 0.9.29 snapshot.
