Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2013-12-19 17:17:25 EST 
Using CDT 8.3.0.201312191118 and GDB 7.6.1-ubuntu.

Debugging Non-stop mode unchecked (all-stop) and Automatic debug forked processes checked results in strange behavior (commands only sent to the the first process, etc). It seems all-stop and multi-process do not make sense together. So the UI in the debug configuration could communicate that Automatic debug forked requires non-stop. Alternatively, there could be an error dialog to inform the user that this won't work after the Debug button is pressed and this behavior could vary depending on the GDB version. This is similar to bug 299452 but with a different combination of options. Hopefully a similar solution can be applied to resolve both bugs.
