It works fine for me. I did have some occasions where the source code
with the breakpoint wouldn't be displayed, but could not find out why.

Before it hits the breakpoint, you do see the window with the debug
WinBar? Otherwise it's empty.
What happens in the communication window? It's normally hidden, but you
can open it in a window. When running into the breakpoint it should
contain something like:
~"Breakpoint 1, ex_help (eap=0x7fffffffd500) at ex_cmds.c:6194\n"
~"6194\t{\n"
*stopped,reason="breakpoint-hit",disp="keep",bkptno="1",frame={addr="0x000055555
55ed7d3",func="ex_help",args=[{name="eap",value="0x7fffffffd500"}],file="ex_cmds
.c",fullname="/home/user/vim/vim80/src/ex_cmds.c",line="6194"},thread-id="1",sto
pped-threads="all",core="2"
Are the file names correct here?
