It’s a UX issue, not a behavior issue, I think. What I would do is... after the user presses the “step” button, until the user presses the “continue normally” (or whatever the free run button that ends the debugger is in VS), if breakpoints are encountered in other threads, they are quietly opened in new tabs, places under the current debugger tab. Maybe flash the tab a bit to let the user know this has happened. I don’t think VS has tabs for the debugger interface, so it would need that added.

Hmmph, I see what you're saying, that sounds like it could work.

I think the tab flashing is the critical detail, otherwise you would be confused why things are deadlocking.
