Bug Description
I am using Kubuntu 14.04 "trusty tahr".
The monodevelop version is the current 14.04 one, 4.0.12+dfsg-2. I use monodevelop for
development/
The problem I describe here started when I upgraded from Kubuntu 13.10 "saucy salamander".
In the earlier monodevelop, when I set a breakpoint and let monodevelop run the program,
monodevelop would stop the program at the breakpoint, placing a yellow arrow in the margin
and painting the relevant line yellow.
In the current monodevelop, when I set a breakpoint and let monodevelop run the program,
monodevelop will stop the program at the /invocation point/ of the method in which the
breakpoint is set, placing a green arrow in the margin and painting the invocation line
green. Multiple hits of key F5 (continue with debugging) makes the program continue,
but it skips the actual breakpoint.
Needless to say, this makes the monodevelop more or less useless as a development/
tool.
Now, it is definitely possible that I have failed to read some release/update notice
telling me that this is really a fine new feature that I just have to learn how to configure.
But I have spent a lot of time looking for such notices with no success - all googl'ing
after issues about monodevelop, breakpoints and green arrows have just given me
information about different issues.
