Breakpoints can only be set before program runs

I am using webstorm 2016.3.2 Build #163.9166.30 built on December 12th, 2016.

With NodeJS 6.9.2 (though this does not make a difference)

If I set a breakpoint before my code runs, the breakpoint will always work.

If I delete the breakpoint while the code is running, the breakpoint will be hidden, but the IDE will break on the line still (a hidden breakpoint that is not displayed in the breakpoint dialog)

If I add a breakpoint while the code is running it will not stop at that breakpoint.

If i restart the program the break point will be hit.

Breakpoints can only be set when program is not running.

I have deleted my .idea folder as recommended on the web and started over but this did not help.

Please let me know if I can provide any more info on how to fix this problem.

Thank you,

b
