The problems I have with breakpoints in IDLDE go beyond that. It seems
to me that sometimes IDLDE gets confused about the relationship between
the file contents and the breakpoint positions. (Sorry to use all these
technical terms.) I've never bothered to define this behaviour
sufficently to file a bug report.

It's probably got nothing to do with the original problem anway...
