Breakpoints not hit for functions called from the debug console

[martinakos]

If I set a breakpoint in a function and I call that function from the debug console the breakpoint is not hit.
Note that when I call this function from the debug console I'm already stopped in another breakpoint.

Do I have to do something to enable this behaviour? Is this possible at all? is it a bug or a feature request? I use this type of debugging in WingIDE sometimes, they call it "debugging code recursively" https://wingware.com/doc/debug/debug-console-debugging. I use to use this type of debugging in Matlab too.

I just found this related issue in debugpy microsoft/debugpy#510
So it seems there are plans to implement this feature in debugpy but there's still no due date.
Please, upvote the related issue if you want this feature working.
