When I'm running a program in Lazarus from F7(step into) or F8(step
over), it compliles, the program runs, but at a moment appears an
error:
"Debugger error

Ooops, the debugger entered the error state
Save your work now !"
While with F9 runs normally.
What can I do?

There are many possible reasons:

If it happens right when you start your app: search this forum for
bitdefender and comodo firewall.

In very rare cases either switch on your printer or change the default
to an other printer. I have heard a few random/unconfirmed reports,
that some printer drivers somehow crash GDB (Lazarus uses GDB)

In any case:

    Upgrade to Lazarus 0.9.30.2

Follow the download link on this forum, you will find it on
sourceforge.

It has many bugs fixed, and comes with am updated GDB too (win).
So after the update check the configuration that it points to the
updated GDB. (On Linux ensure you have GBB 7.2 or higher / On Mac
there is only 6.3.50)
