That the analog function > of some pin was incorrectly set/cleared ? Once ANSEL was correctly set, then the SFR and Watch windows in MPLAB reflected the actual state of the pin. ANSEL was incorrectly set for all pins RA7-RA4, but it was only RA5 that produced a conflict. That is after the pin was set high and measured 5V the debugger continued to report it as 0.
