Hi,
I compiled from sources ddd 3.3.11 on debian/unstable, and it still had the 
problem of showing breakpoints between lines, as well as the selected text area 
of a mouse click being wrong (it happens on a larger program i have, but not in 
a simple test program).

The current version of ddd on debian/unstable is 3.3.12.

I noticed the dependencies of 3.3.12 is different to 3.3.11, and the bug might 
be in one of the motif/athena or whatever widget libraries.

I was going to port ddd to a new widget library, but it'll be a while yet.
