xdebug never stops on single-line statements

Question

Could you guys tell me why xdebug never stops on single-line statements ? I'm C++ guy so excuse me for lame question.

I'm using PhpStorm 5.0.2 as IDE. I tried it in Intellij IDEA Leda EAP as well.

Consider following php code

<?php
$d=date("D");
if ($d=="Fri")
{
    echo "Have a nice weekend!";
}
else
    echo "Have a nice day!";
?>

If I set break-point on second echo debugger will never stop there. But if I surround it with curly braces (like in case of first echo) it will.

It's quite unfortunate behavior which complicates debugging. Is it possible to change it somehow ? Maybe there is some secret xdebug setting ?

Thanks!

Looks like it's a bug in xdebug. I filed it (0000895) in their bug-tracking system. Please add your comments if you have any.

xdebug developer closed the bug with comment "This is a duplicate of 0000842 - and sadly not something I can fix as it has to do with how the PHP interpreter assigns line numbers to generated execution units."
