Details:

Since a few csets (maybe < 2-3 days I think), when debugging and clicking on
"Step in" when the pointer is at a function call, the relevant file to be
stepped into isn't loaded in the editor anymore.
However, it is loaded in the interpreter as "dbdown" in the terminal works and
actually lists the file-to-be-stepped-into:

>> pkg load econometrics
stopped in pkg at line 377
[C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-6.0.0_20191103def\mingw64\share\octave\6.0.0\m\pkg\pkg.m]
377:   switch (action)
         ## Few "step" clicks
debug>   ## Hey, no load_packages.m loaded in editor
debug> dbdown
stopped in load_packages at line 1
[C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-6.0.0_20191103def\mingw64\share\octave\6.0.0\m\pkg\private\load_packages.m]
debug>


(where I set a breakpoint at L.377, clicked the "step" button until pointer
was at L.495 and then clicked "step in".

Smells like another manifestation of mismatching 8.3 vs. LFN path names.
