Description
When setting a breakpoint in a file with a particular name, breakpoints are set in all files with that file name at the same line.
I saw #977 where the same issue is reported, but the provided workaround does not work and there is no response anymore from the team.
This is a deal breaker for me as I cannot use the debugger at all in the current situation. The issue has been open for 3 years already. If there is no intent of providing a good fix for this, can you let us know so we can reconsider our options?

Research direction
Reproduce the breakpoint behavior with multiple files sharing the same name, then review the details and workaround discussed in issue #977. Trace the C/C++ debugger extension entry points involved in breakpoint placement; done means a breakpoint is set only in the selected file at the requested line.
