Debugger Continues when Clicking on Line Number
Answered
When the debugger is stopped on a breakpoint and I click on a line number (near where the breakpoints go, but on the actual number), the application runs and then no longer stops on breakpoints until I stop and restart the debugger. Is this expected behaviour? It happens in IDEA 2019.3 and 2020.1 .

I can't reproduce the described issue with no longer stopping on breakpoints. After run to cursor all the breakpoints still work.
Could you please share a sample project with the exact steps to reproduce this issue?
I didn't realize that triggered run to cursor. After testing I believe what happened is that I clicked a line number that was not reached at all during the current request or subsequent requests, so the debugger never reached that line. I made an example repo where I reproduced that behavior: https://github.com/joe-op/run-to-cursor . It sounds like it's intended, though. Thanks for advising.
Yes, it's expected.
