Problem
I am debugging an application with lots of threads. My breakpoints are set to suspend the whole VM. When a thread hits one of the breakpoints, I then want to use Step Over. But this appears to resume the whole VM, until that step completes. It'd really help if I could step just the single thread that hit the breakpoint. Is there any way to do this in IntelliJ 11.1 / Java 6? (Hope I'm not missing something obvious...)
