No, I see now that it works.  Thanks.  I thought your change was about 
centering the window around the location of the breakpoint marker (the 
red dot).

I think Matlab splits the window, but maybe someone could confirm?

There's probably no way to please everyone here.  So long term, I think 
the behavior may need to be customizable.  But for now, it would be good 
enough to just have a reasonable default and worry about allowing 
customization later.

I'll have to look at it.

Can you give a precise recipe for the problem?  Are you setting the 
breakpoint from the editor with a file already open there?  What is the 
current directory when it works/fails?  Are you setting the breakpoint 
in a script or a function?
