Assigning values to numeric variables not executing

Hello,

I have a strange problem. While debugging another problem in an app
I'm writing, I noticed that the debugger was not executing statements
where I am assigning a value to numeric variables, e.g., double,
extended, integer, etc. These variables are local variables and the
funny thing, there is no problem when I assign properties off a form.
I have tested this my creating a basic app and doing the following:

1. Add a TButton to a form

2. In the click event of the TButton, I have the following code:
var extTest, extTest2: Extended;
    dblTest: Double;
    x: Integer;
    s: String;
begin
   dblTest := 234.34;
   x := 23;
   s := 'Testing';
end;

When I execute the debugger, the only line the debugger executes is
the "s := 'Testing' " line. Anything that assigns a numeric variable
is ignored. I've noticed in the column in the IDE to the left of the
source, there is a 'X' next to the break I've inserted on one of these
lines. On the lines that execute, I get a checkmark. Does anyone have
an idea what is going on?

Thanks in Advance!!!!!
