Cursor doesn’t follow program flow if “expression continuously” is checked on “loop node” and “if node”.  
I can’t debug it on long robot program, so what can I do?

This bug is really annoying, I conifirm that in `ursim-5.10.0.106288` it is still present. Did you find any workaround?

I don’t use the feature of “expression continuously” because existing this bug.

Instead of I have used script command “break” to break form loop.

Can you explain how to have the cursor following the program flow and still have a continuous check of the condition?

Please edit “break” in script node.

Ok but in this way I have to add an `If` node for every code line I want to check, and it is not a continuous check in parallel with the program (like for example during a movement).
