package p;
public class Bug {
    void foo(String name) {
        try { 
        }
        
        if (true) {
        	System.out.println();     // Put breakpoint here
        } else {
        	System.out.println();
        }
       
    }
}

Put the breakpoint at line 7. Now edit the try block so that the code looks like this
public class Bug {
    void foo(String name) {
        try { 
	        System.out.println();
        	int abc = 1;
        }
        
        if (true) {
        	System.out.println();     // Breakpoint stays on this line
        } else {
        	System.out.println();
        }
       
    }
}

Note that the breakpoint moves down 2 lines i.e. at line 9 and stays along with the System.out.println();, but its just a stale marker. Looking at the breakpoints view, you see that a breakpoint on line 7. Trying to remove the stale breakpoint at line 9 by double clicking the blue dot fails, but adds a fresh breakpoint instead (see breakpoints view). 

Such a scenario can also occur when i delete some code and the breakpoint moves a few lines up/down. I always have to manually delete the stale breakpoint in the breakpoints view.
