I've found it better not to end  debug session, by using Shift F5
or by using the "Close" icon on the debug task bar.

I avoid the End Task, by letting a job run to completion - typically
an exception during testing.

Now, if the job is of long duration, a judiciously placed "assert 0"
can ensure temination at an exception.
