Details:

Hopefully title is sufficiently clear.

But just to be sure, here's how to reproduce:
Create a function 'funca', e.g., as follows:

function out = funca (in);
  out = in + 1;
endfunction


and save it as funca.m.
In the edit pane, set a breakpoint at L. 2 ("out = in + 1"):
Then close the function (I clicked on "close" button).
Next, in command window type:
funca (1)

In the command window, Octave responds with a debug prompt, but funca.m isn't
loaded in the editor. All debug buttons and commands seem to work.

In 5.2.0, funca.m still got loaded in the editor.
In 6.1.0 and dev, this doesn't happen.
I suppose this is a regression (didn't yet mark it as such).

FTR, I got 6.1.0 from ftp.gnu org.
