Intellij IDEA: Breakpoint not being hit, and is shown greyed out

Intellij Idea

Intellij Idea Problem Overview


Running JDK 1.7 on Mac OS X and suddenly breakpoints on my project are not working, and they are appearing greyed out. They were working earlier today, so not sure what I have done to cause this. I am using Intellij 13.1.3. Why would breakpoints stop working like this?

Oh Gee - I just saw the "Mute Breakpoint" button in the debugger window. My mistake: picture below for the next person who might be as inattentive as me:

Very easy to do with a touch bar and not realise. The icon on the touch bar is more obvious than the one in the debug panel.
