A lot of people do the same for the same reason. However, it is a good
practice to try to reproduce the problem in the simplest possible
compileable example in order to isolate the problem. I this do often with my
own code. I sometimes cut and paste the code into a new project and then
delete most of it just to isolate the problem. The less code I have to deal
with, the easier it is to find the problem.
