I’m glad you guys brought this up. I don’t think any user would ever want to see the gdb traces.
At the very least it rounds to zero versus the number of users we have. So making this hidden by default seems to me to be the right thing to do.
IMHO, adding a button actually makes it more visible than it is now (did I ever mention I hate toolbar buttons :), this is one example why, it makes things always visible). A menu on the debugger console would be fine.

I like your idea of providing a context-menu or a button in the Debugger Console (GDB instance of it) to make the gdb traces visible.
I'll code something up.
Thanks
OK, I get what you mean now. Yes it is a better user experience, especially if the user does not use "Allocate console".
I too have not expressed myself properly. What I was recommending for the "Debugger Console" was that be the entry point for making the gdb traces visible or not (i.e. a button/menu item right in that view). At the moment the preference is not very discoverable.
