If I set a breakpoint on a blank line, SDM sends back EVENT_DBG_ERROR.  But this breakpoint is still shown in the prefix area of the editor, and there is no difference between this unsuccessfully set breakpoint and a successfully set breakpoint.  It could be very confusing to the user.
We need a decorator to the breakpoint marker to make the distinction.

I'm unable to reproduced this. When I set a breakpoint on a blank line, the breakpoint is set on that line. When resuming the program, the target may suspend at a different line than expected. This is the expected behavior and is consistent with how gdb handles breakpoints.

Can you set a breakpoint manually using gdb and provide the output (error message, etc)?
