I started to write this yesterday and then thought I abandoned the bug report.  I am not sure how it got submitted.

In any event, since it is here, I will give it a bit of a summary; it is a real problem that happens to me on a routine basis.  It has been happening for a long time (using the dailies).  However, I have never figured out how to reproduce it effectively.  Yesterday, I had thought I had it figured out, but when that turned out not to be the case, I gave up (or thought I had) on my report.  

What happens is that I will be working along just fine, maybe running my app, and then I will decided to put a break point somewhere.  Sometimes it works.  However, sometimes I click in the gutter nothing happens.  Clicking more times does not help.  But, if I just click in the editor window once and then back in the gutter and my break point is added.

IMHO this is a duplicate of issue #216601.
Please reopen if this happens with a different use-case. We'd be hardly able to fix this without knowing when it happens.

I totally agree.  I was having trouble reproducing it because I was looking at the wrong things.  I can't say for sure, of course, but I am comfortable with the assessment that it is 216601.
