This is because breakpoint definitions are stored in the project  
file. Switching projects clears the breakpoint list and replaces it  
with the ones defined in the newly loaded project file.

Project files are text files, containing python code. The structure  
defining breakpoints is called 'debug.breakpoints', at least in my  
current Wing 3 project files.
