I'll use this bug to track making "step-over" do line based stepping instead of ~statement stepping. In general, stepping should be significantly improved soon so that you will know exactly what is executing each step. There has been discussion on how step-over should behave in such cases, and it seems "skip all things on this line" is what developers are familiar with.

Joe, is there any reason to keep this bug open any more?

Yes. The idea of "step-over" being line-based is still valid. Currently we can pause on multiple statements within a line. Moving to line-based (by sending the backend a start offset and end offset of the line) would be an enhancement we could add.
