Interesting, for me using a condition on string, the condition is never 
true, so it never stops.

It is something to do what gdb sees as the actual value. (Unlike 
watches, the IDE does not apply any pascal syntax fixing to the condition.
I tested with an integer "i=2" that works.

And on top of all your mail just made me realize that string literals 
are broken. They get uppercased, because of a gdb bug, where class 
members are only found if they are uppercase and the ide simple fixes 
that by uppercasing all. That affect watches too.
