Description james tomkinson CLA 2020-01-31 10:31:49 EST 
I often find my breakpoint moved one or more lines after editing, perhaps after a paste operation.   this is especially impacting if:
- from a if-then-else "then" clause to the "if" clause
- from try-catch "catch" clause back into the "try" clause.
if the clause contains older, complex break condition code, it is especially difficult to correct.

Ignoring the obvious comment that this shouldn't happen,

If would be nice to have a feature where I could either:
- drag a breakpoint to a new line
- cut/paste a breakpoint to a different line
- edit the breakpoint to change the line

Can you please provide exact snippet to reproduce because if edits lead to a non executable statement, a breakpoint can jump to next valid statement.
