no red-dot on the line when setting a breakpoint in edge debugger

Question

no red-dot on the line when setting a breakpoint in edge debugger

Klaus FRANK 20

there used to be a blue dot in the lined where a breakpoint was assigned. According to latest devtools-guide-chromium it should be red now.
But there is no dot at all! Where is the dot and why isn't it just popping up as it always was when clicking a line for seting a breakpoint?

Line-of-code breakpoints

Use a line-of-code breakpoint when you know the exact region of code that you need to investigate. DevTools always pauses before this line of code is run.

To set a line-of-code breakpoint in DevTools:

Select the Sources tool.

Open the file that contains the line of code that you want to break on.

Go to the line of code.

To the left of the line of code is the line number column. Click it. A red icon appears next to the line number column:

--> NO. There is no red icon!

Hi @Klaus FRANK

Which version of Edge do you use? It was an old issue in Edge but has been fixed now: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/DevTools/issues/293. I use Edge Stable Version 131.0.2903.86 and the issue is fixed. Please update to the latest version of Edge and test again.
