Answer 1

Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 Mac OS X 10.10.5

When I start Debug, Eclipse tries to make a network connection. If I allow, sometimes the step toolbuttons are disabled. If I deny, they are enabled. The dialog to deny or allow comes from the OS. I run Eclipse as a standard user, so I am prompted for a privileged user authentication.

Answer 2

I don't know why this happens but I've found that changing focus from one view to another (debug, or the editor) will usually fix it.
