When debugging, I frequently encounter the Debugger View and the Local Variables windows completely blank. It stays blank even after stepping around code.

Reassigning to debugger for further evaluation.
I haven't managed to reproduce it. Some steps would be helpful.
Not a debugger problem. Likely a cause of: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0 at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:547) at java.util.ArrayList.remove(ArrayList.java:387) at org.openide.explorer.view.VisualizerChildren.removed(VisualizerChildren.java:252) ... I guess this was already submitted somewhere...
sounds very similar like issue 153154, but i guess root cause is different...
I do remote debugging. So you'd need to got to Debug -> Attach Debugger. Select "Java Debugger (JPDA)"; connector is "Socket Attach"; transport = dt_socket. Those are the steps.
The Local Variables of the Debugger View appear blank until I click in the value field. With the field highlighted, I can see the value in it. So it seems that the foreground color and the background color are the same.

The issue does not present itself for me with JDK 1.6.0_11 but it does with JDK 1.6.0_12.
