One can use `set scheduler-locking off' in such case.

The point of `set scheduler-locking step' is that it should affect the most
common uses of GDB. Stepping/Nexting single thread but continue-ing all the
threads.

One can alwaye use `set scheduler-locking' as an override if s/he has some
specific needs.

My original post was that I believe the new `*t' commands were invented more
because `set scheduler-locking step' is not default+working. I guess such
idea would not arise at all otherwise. Any new configuration options and/or
more commands are bad when the same functionality can be reached otherwise.

Thanks,
