It is supposed to work.  I'm not sure how it determines the absolute
path to the source file and why it sometimes does not do this.  If you
look in the window title bar, sometimes you see an absolute and
sometimes a relative path.  If you try to Edit Source when you have a
relative path name in the source window, it fails.  It's on my To Do
list :-)

However, if you can see the correct file in the source window, and if
you can set a breakpoint in this window, it should work.  Have you
checked whether the breakpoint is set as you expect in the
Source/Breakpoints dialog (or using the gdb command "info breakpoints")?
