"MATLAB:Run Current Section" does not stop at breakpoint #338

Describe the bug
when I only care about a specific section (lines starting with double %). When I want the debugger to pause at a certain line of code in that section, provided I’ve already set a breakpoint there, if I run the section using “MATLAB: Run Current Section”, the code executes the entire section directly and ignores the breakpoint!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create a new script .m file and insert the following code.

a = 1;
b = 2;

%% section debug，can't stop at line 5
c = a + b; % line 5, have breakpoint
fprintf('c = %d\n', c);

1. add a breakpoint at line 5.

2. place the mouse cursor on line 5.

3. press the F1 shortcut and select “MATLAB: Run Current Section”, or press Ctrl+Enter to run the current section.

The breakpoint does not pause at line 5; instead, the code runs straight through as if you had pressed Run.

Expected behavior
The code enters debugging mode and pauses at line 5
