I\'m just noticing that on my laptop (Dell XPS 15z) there\'s no BREAK key (no dedicated number keypad). I\'m running the debugger step-by-step and then when all seems fine,
Despite this being an old question, I have just encountered the same issue and discovered that Ctrl+Scroll lock works as a break.
"Scroll lock" can be accessed on my DELL Laptop via the blue function key "Fn" and the "F6" key which has a small blue lock symbol on it with an ⇳ symbol in it. At other computers it may look like ⤓ . So effectively I press Ctrl+Fn+F6.
