We can create method breakpoints when the selection is in the editor but not when the selection is in the disassembly view.

Toni, would you know if there is a fundamental reason why this is not done?

I think it is doable.  We need to get access to the CModel of the underlying file which should be possible using the information from the IDisassemblySelection.

I have implemented method breakpoint for my debugger using the toggle breakpoint factory. If the toggle action is on a label line, than insert a method breakpoint from the label. You should be able to get the label from the disassembly selection, there is a new API that I put in the IDisassemblySelection to return the label. Will this work for you?

Looks promising.
I don't have time to look at it myself, right now though, but I wanted to have the bug written to keep track.
