I assume you're using Wing IDE 2.1 here.  Wing IDE 3.0 handles 
exceptions differently by default and shouldn't stop in these cases.

In Wing 2.1, you can select "Ignore this exception location" in the 
Exceptions tool and continue debugging.  This choice is remembered in 
your project.

You can also change Wing to report exceptions only if they actually lead 
to program termination with the Debugger / Exceptions / Report 
Exceptions preference -- set it to At Process Termination.

There are details as to why Wing does this here:

Hope that helps.
