That is a feature of the interactive window - it is used to prevent
execution of the command - for example, to insert a new line in a
command already half entered.
It appears that this also works in the editor window - it should not
work like this. I am not yet sure if this is a side effect of the
interactive window or something else completely.
As to the rest of the problems, they seem all related to the debugger.
A reproducible test case would go a long way to helping me sort these out.
Mark.
