Template functions not showing return value (calibre 6.5)

[tamaracks]

For the past day or two, I am not getting any return values showing in the Template Functions dialog box. I mean the "Template Value" column that previews the output of the template functions for the currently selected book.

It might have started when I installed the most recent update (6.5). Is it just me? Any ideas how to fix it?

least I can confirm is that on 6.4 that's working as usual...

Working for me on 6.5, my templates are very simple.

Works for me. See the screen captures.

Make sure that a) there is a book selected and b) that the template actually returns something. If the first is true then a title will show in the Template value line. The latter can be tested by doing what the second screen capture shows, adding a fixed value at the end for the template to return.

Thanks. I'm aware of making sure a book has been selected, and it is.

And in checking that for the umpteenth time, I realized that "enable breakpoints" was checked, and that was the trouble. So, I'm an idiot, and thanks!
