From the IDE, this has been the way TP has worked since at least TP4.0
(for me anyway).  I always assumed (although it's not documented anywhere
I've found) that this was to allow you to check that the Break was caught
if you wanted it to be, but also allow you a way to break out of a program
while still debugging it under the IDE.  Anyone else with other insight?
