I have the issues at Win-7 64 with the ICD3 and sometimes with Pickit3 but none with Saleae so far. Taday I downloaded the Beta version but have not test it.

Unfortunately going back to MPLAB 8 is not always an option.

Also using third party hardware has issues too. For example my trusted old Elnec Pikprog+ does not support new devices anymore and I have to buy a new programmer...
