Suggestion: Ability to pause all debug trace

In my flows I have a number of nodes that are spitting out debug messages that is causing my debug pane to scroll pretty fast. I realize that I can go to each of my debug nodes in turn and switch them off to suspend output, but what I am looking for is a button or menu on the debug pane that would give me a "pause" capability so that I can suspend the scrolling while I am reading and thinking about what I am seeing. The debug output should then be able to be "played" or "resumed" to continue scrolling output.

just scroll the debug box upwards slightly - it should then stop scrolling.

Howdy Dave,

I'll try that ... I'm sure you are right. I'd still like to suggest that there be a technique a little more consumable and intuitive.

We have an open issue that covers improvements to the debug sidebar. I'd suggest you add your suggestions to that so they are kept in one place.

I think scrolling up to the entry I want to see is fairly natural and intuitive.... and doesn't require any extra buttons.

I scrolled the debug window up some ... but it didn't stop my scrolling :-(
