I totally agree with you.
When I raised this issue many years ago, I was told here that this is  
on purpose concept of working sets.
I tried to accept this and even tried to build and use my working  
sets, but finally abandoned this and came to my concept of usage: try  
not to exit the debug working set as long as you can: make all editing  
in it. When you are ready, exit it, compile and run debug - you are  
back at the same place in your code, where you were when (most  
probably) you stopped when have found a bug.
