Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

When in debug mode, let’s say file a.py calls a function within MixedCase.py, if MixedCase.py is not open, when debugging a.py, the debugger opens up MixedCase.py, but it shows as mixedcase.py, also, hovering the mouse over its tab show the entire directory address as lowercased.

Sure, we can explore the options (either overwriting canonic to prevent the case change of the path or handling the pdb state we send to Spyder to maintain the case of the path at least for Spyder).

So do you think it’s worthwhile exploring that possibility? We could check that things don’t break by moving line by line with the debugger and see that things work as before.
