Debug tool window

Last modified: 15 January 2025

The Debug tool window opens when you start a debug session. With this window, you can perform various debugger actions and analyze the program data (frames, threads, variables, and so on).

By default, the Debug tool window opens when your program hits a breakpoint and is not hidden when the session is terminated. To change this behavior, go to the Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger settings page  CtrlAlt0S and clear the Show debug window on breakpoint checkbox.
