Red "BREAK" Line Disappears while Debugging in V3.2.92h Beta

Hi All;
When writing code, the SX/B compiler usually generates compound statements (usually four instructions) and lists them on a single line. When putting a red-line BREAK in debugging code with such statements, the break is assigned to the first instruction on that line. Generally that is not where one wants the break to be, more often on the third instruction on the line. To effect this, one must go to the "registers" window which is formatted one instruction per line, and locate the red-line there, and then click the desired instruction for the break. In doing so, the red-line in the list window disappears, as does the BREAK ICON at the top of the listing - it gets greyed out.
Is there any work around for this annoyance?
In large programs it is a pain to scroll through to return to the break location..... bad enough when it is lit up red, but with it blanked out it wastes a lot of time.
Also, in a similar vein, those of us who use a touchpad for moving the cursor (and for that matter, mousers too)·would really appreciate a right-click to instantly zero in on the break line.
Cheers,
