State-Changed-Why:
    Your bug report is a little sparse on information, but let me explain what is supposed to happen.
    
    When debugging in SOURCE mode, you should step in the source language (i.e. N does "next" for C/C++/Java/etc; "nexti" for assembly).
    
    When debugging in MIXED mode or ASSEMBLY mode, N does "nexti" and S does "stepi".
    
    When debugging in SRC+ASM mode, N will do "next" if the mouse is in the SRC pane; "nexti" if it is in the ASM pane.
    
    So, if the source window is displaying assembly, the only way to single-step one source line is to press the next button on the toolbar or select it from the menu.
    
    Have you tried 6.0?

 i had almost exactly these symptoms, and the problem was fixed for me by 
 typing...  
 (gdb) set solib-absolute-prefix /        
 ... into the command line window in insight.
 
 The apparent 'step' and 'next' inactivity is due to gdb not being able 
 to set breakpoints for the step/next behaviours.
 Not being able to get paths to libraries seems to affect gdb's ablity to 
 set breakpoints.
 
 The solib-adbsolute-prefix variable is set at configure time for both 
 gdb and insight, and the defaults i have in my debian [sarge 3.1] are..
 gdb [gdb 6.3-debian] has the default : ""
 insight [GNU gdb 2004-08-11-cvs] has the default : "/usr/share".
 when I set the value to "/usr/share" in gdb, it has exactly the same 
 broken behaviour with 'next' and 'step'.
 
 I guess this is down to the distribution to get the config right, so 
 I've sent this to bugs at debian:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306276
 nice debugger though :)

Doing "Step" and "Next" doesn't work. 

Whenever I do "Step" or "Next" I always get the "Step Asm Inst" or the "Next Asm Inst" commands instead. 

The keybord shortcut S is the same for both "Step" and "Step Asm Inst". Same in thing in the "Control" menu.

The keybord shortcut N is the same for both "Next" and "Next Asm Inst". Same in thing in the "Control" menu. If I select "Control -> Next" I get into the asembler stuff.
