+1 On this. This has been plaguing me for months. I turned on every kind of debug log file in the config (xdebug.txt, profiler_enable, auto_trace) and could not discern any reason for this. It just seemingly decides to randomly skip out of one or more functions on the stack for no reason. Though granted, xdebug liked completely hard crashing quite often when the latter debug file types were enabled. The longer I leave the debugger paused the more likely this is to happen. It seems about an 80% chance if I leave the debugger for more than 60 seconds without taking an action (stepping, evaluating, changing variables, etc). This has been killing me :-\

Running Windows 7 x64 w/ IntelliJ and currently php 7.1.2. IIRC I have encountered this with the latest php versions of both 7.0.x and 7.1.x for probably at least 4 months.

Please provide a full example that I can run locally, and not just parts, and with a matching Xdebug remote log file. Without this, I can't investigate this, and hence not fix it.

Hopefully martixy can beat me to it, but it will be a few weeks until I can supply the info you asked for.

That IS a full example. You do see the attached zip right?

Yes, I saw the attached zip. But I can't run any of that as it's not complete, and the remote_log file does not exactly match the provided file. I need a full (but small) reproducible case as is described at https://xdebug.org/support.php#remote

Can't reproduce this, and no feedback provided.
