Visual Studio 2013 can't debug javascript in cshtml

I have an ASP.NET Web Application created with Visual Studio 2013. I am attempting to debug JavaScript in a CSHTML file. However, whenever I launch the webpage, any breakpoint turns into a red circle arrow and states, "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No executable code of the debugger's target code type is associated with this line. Possible causes include: conditional compiliation, compilier optimizations, or the target architecture of this line is not supported by the current debugger code type."

Recently, the project was switched over to support MVC and RAZR, neither of which I know well, and this is exactly when this issue began. However, searching those have yielded results that don't fix my issue.

Web.config:

<compilation debug="true"...>

I know I can debug JavaScript with Firebug or some other browser tool, but I would much rather stick with Visual Studio's debug as that is what I am used to.

So, apparently this is a "known issue" that will be fixed as soon as possible. A temporary work around that works for "some" people is making sure any Javascript is in a separate file.

It is caused by having RAZR and Javascript in the same file and Visual Studio 2013 not being able to handle debugging in that instance.
