Debug not using project debug settings?

Hi,
When I press F5 in the editor to start a new debugging session, it does not use the debugging settings I specified in my project. Why is this not working?
Also, when I specify to show line numbers I have to constantly set this option for every file. Why? Is there a way to make line numbers show up for ALL files?
Also, "Start New Session" is grayed out... Not sure what this option does anyway, seems like it would start a new debug session.
Thanks.

The problem you are encountering with your project-level debugging settings is probably related to this bug:
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70514
The global option to show line numbers for all files is under 'Edit|Preferences...|Editor|Show line numbers' (as opposed to 'View|View line numbers').
"Start New Session" is used to start a new, separate debugging session while you're stopped at a breakpoint. It's only available when you're in an active debugging session (i.e. stopped at a breakpoint).
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. Your explanations and solutions were very helpful, I do appreciate it.
Concerning the bug report you linked me to, I'm not sure if it related. From reading the comments in the bug report it somewhat sounds related but under a different situation; if that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to fix this myself or maybe there is some work around available? If not, when can I expect an update that fixes this? Project support is one of the MAJOR reasons why I choose Komodo over other python IDE's.
Let me know. Thanks again!
We're looking into that bug now, I'm pretty sure it's related to the problem you're experiencing (see my comments in the bug).
I haven't been able to find a useful workaround for making the project-level debugging settings stick, but you can at least save a new file-level debugging setting if that helps at all.
When you open a debug session, click "New..." in the Debugging Options dialog box. Choose a configuration name and set up the environment, arguments, options, etc. then click OK. The new, named debug configuration should persist as the default configuration for that file.
I realize this is quite tedious if you have to do it for each file. We'll try to get a fix out ASAP.
