Setting breakpoints

According to Manual 1 , p68 "
Breakpoints can be placed in (removed from) the program by simply clicking
over the line number in the margin. Alternatively the Breakpoints > Toggle
breakpoint menu may be used to insert/remove a breakpoint at the current cursor
position. Breakpoints are indicated by a red flag in the margin."

None of these seem to work any more. I can set a breakpoint by ctrl-t but the line turns red, no flag. The Breakpoint Menu shows Next, Previous and Clear all Breakpoints.

Did I mess up a setting as I seem to remember breakpoints working as described in the manual at some time in the past?

Thanks,
Derek

Works for me clicking to the +left+ of the line number, not +on+ or +over+ the line number.

That's another funny thing. My line numbers are left justified but I think that has changed too. No, clicking in the small space left of the line number just selects the line.

Found it. In Settings/Editor/Margin/Display Bookmark Margin must be ticked to show a column left of the line numbers. That's where to click to set a breakpoint and it's where the red flag appears.
