I can only speak to a few of those:

Breakpoints won't break if the line calls into an IDE/rev script. That's 
the only time I've ever seen it happen. The solution is to break just 
before or just after that line.

I have never seen the message box wander. Since you didn't get a reply 
when you posted it, I suspect no one else has either. To me, it sounds 
like a scripting issue. Maybe you have a script that sets the location 
of a stack or some other object, but it isn't specifying the correct target.

Which tools don't work or disappear? (I've never seen that either.) If 
an IDE object is disappearing, see if you can find a correlation to a 
place in one of your scripts that hides an object. If so, see what it 
thinks the target object is.

Are you using the new project browser? Do things improve if you close it?
