No autocompletion with the ipdb prompt when using Spyder

I'm using Spyder for my python programming. I'm having a problem when I use the debugfile (F7) command/function. Once in the ipdb prompt I have no autocompletion and the up arrow action (for the history of commands) does not work.

When I'm using IPython on the terminal (I'm on MacOS) everything works fine.

I have installed Spyder, ipdb, and IPython using macport. When I've tried installing with anaconda, the same problem occurs.

Do you have any idea of what's happening?

Thanks

(Spyder dev here) This is a limitation of the new, kernel-based architecture of IPython. We're planning to create a workaround over it and also significantly improve our debugging facilities next year, as can be seen in our Roadmap.
