Personally, I find the old version "[] in Class >> #selector" much better to read. And how would you handle nested, nested, nested blocks? ;-) In this case, I think a preference for "enable/disable modern debugger layout" would be useful.
However, the column alignment is a cool thing. Did you consider aligning the columns at the left and right border rather than centering them?

Okay-ish.... Not sure about that "[ ] in" ... it might deserve an extra column in the middle:

Maybe we could change the LazyListMorph implementation to allow crossing the columns correctly? This would us to take advantage of all available space.

Whatever we end up with, too many nested blocks should not create a lot of white space in the middle column. Moreover, the square brackets should belong to the method selector, not to the class name(s), shouldn't they? Am Mi., 23. Okt. 2019 um 14:47 Uhr schrieb Marcel Taeumel <[hidden email]>:

Might be worth remembering that the listing in the notifier is just there to give a quick clue about the problem. Clear readability therein is necessarily the same the same thing as clear readability in the rather larger debugger context.
