	Hi, just downloaded and installed the latest and greatest on VS 2015 and considering a "pro" licence ... but ... I have an existing sketch that runs OK but have noticed that when I put a breakpoint on a "switch" statement it never seems to hit it. Also if the first statement after a "case" is a function and I set a breakpoint there then sometimes the function seems to be called BEFORE the breakpoint is reported. But then after fiddling with other breakpoints to try to figure out whats happening it seems to start working - very odd. TIA Bob

	Hi Bob, The debugger code injection inserts breakpoints at the end of the current line. There are a few combinations where it can't insert the breakpoint in the correct place. These are shown in the "Breakpoints and Your Code" section of the Debugging your Arduino Sketch documentation. You will see that case/switch statements are described towards the end of the section but the entire section is worth a gaze. It's not ideal but hopefully the doc makes sense and it can work for you. If you have syntax that you think is a contender for an improvement then please post a snippet.
