How to prevent function tab opening when debugging in Shiny

Crossposting from this question: Debugging R Shiny with browser() statements less painfully - Stack Overflow

Can this behavior be suppressed in Shiny so that debugging line by line works like it used to?

FAQ: Is it OK if I cross-post?

Posting the same question both here and on other sites Posting the same question to multiple forums at the same time is often considered impolite. We don't completely ban such cross-posting, but we ask you to think hard before you do it and to follow some rules. Cross-post sparingly Rather than post the same thing here and elsewhere from the get-go, post in one place at a time. Let enough time go by (think days, not hours) before you take your question somewhere else. Sometimes people at another site may suggest you post here if your question doesn't fit within the scope of the other site. Always link to your other posts, and update everywhere with any solution…

In short is not considered OK to just drop a link to other help site, you have to clearly present your question in both sites, not just one.

It wasn't my question, but fine, I'll restate it:

When debugging in shiny via browser or breakpoint and running line by line, is it possible to disable whatever "feature" triggers a new function tab to be opened in the IDE? It's incredibly annoying to have to keep switching tabs.
