I will just leave this here, so that people that prefer the buttons in their original place can get them back ...

I did some quick investigating, and it’s straightforward. Just change the implementation of GTGenericStackDebugger>>codeActionsPragmas to the following:

codeActionsPragmas

^ #( codeDebuggingAction stackDebuggingAction )

Et voila, the stack debugging action buttons now are also available just above the code pane!

For extra goodness, the following two-liner is now also going into my startup preferences, run-once code part:

GTGenericStackDebugger compile: 'codeActionsPragmas

^ #(stackDebuggingAction codeDebuggingAction)' classified: 'building actions'

Voila, I will never miss those buttons again :-)

Does this mail seem too brief? Sorry for that, I don’t mean to be rude! Please see http://emailcharter.org .

Yes, and there was also some discussion on the Pharo-users mailing list. Apparently the same comments more or less ...

I give a big +1 on moving the buttons down, so that they are between the stack and the code pane. I still don’t understand why they need to be so far away from the code pane, it makes much more sense above the code pane + we save on mouse movements.

Because doru got trapped into his own view on "UI design".

Even apple does not respect its own design documents.
