Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

[J. Landman Gay]

Okay, there's definitely something wrong with 8.1 rc 2. I now have a stack 
that will not break anywhere, whether using soft breakpoints or inserting 
the word "breakpoint" into the scripts. It doesn't matter where or which 
script I put it in.

I relaunched LC and it worked once, then stopped.

In one instance, the handler does break, but not at the breakpoint line 
(either type.) Instead it breaks about 10 lines down in an unrelated 
handler. I chose "clear all breakpoints" from the Debug menu. The 
breakpoints custom property in the stack clears and is empty. The script 
still breaks at the incorrect line in spite of the fact that there are no 
breakpoints anywhere. I set and removed breakpoints manually (both types) 
and it still breaks at the unrelated line.

Which bug report needs this info? Or should I start a new one?
