It's a feature that was added recently, though I can imagine it may be
annoying. Here's the PR that added it:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/9449

Feel free to open an issue asking that it be removed again. I don't have
any strong feelings one way or the other, as I don't use the debugger much.
