I think that the problem is that the application gets started before the
debugger, thus before the breakpoints are set and the code is interpreted. I
don't think we can do much about that, short of adding the erlide debugger
application to the boot script, but that would require large changes to our
framework.

A suggestion would be to create a parameterless function that starts your
application and does any other initialization, and specify it as startup
function in the debug configuration.
