"step" means (pretty much) what you'd expect it to mean from other 
environments - so there is something specific going wrong.

One possible (maybe even likely) candidate is that if you are putting 
your breakpoint on the last statement in a handler or function, then 
Step will just run onwards - you need to use "Step into" to step in *or 
out* of a handler or function. (There is a BZ for this, I believe).

If it's not that - please tell us more....
