The tick is only shown when you have an active debug session at that line. It means your breakpoint is active and attached to the bytecode running in debug mode. Debugger cannot (and will never) stop at breakpoints without that "tick".

If you don't have this "tick" at some lines then your have differences between the bytecode and the source code you debug. This can happen when debugged bytecode has not been produced by the attached source code or bytecode has been compiled without debugging information like line numbers etc.
