I agree that the current behavior is pretty much completely broken.  I may be wrong, but given the recent changes to the call stack and symbol table, the changes needed to fix the debugger display in the GUI are probably completely different for 5.x and the current development sources.  If we can fix both, then that's great but my priority will be to fix the current development sources and get this all working correctly for Octave 6.

the little yellow arrow marking the line of execution does not follow the frame as i issue 'dbup' and 'dbdown'.  it is helpful to show all points in the execution stack with an "inactive" colored arrow, and the current frame with an "active" colored arrow.

also, it is helpful to show a tooltip when hovering over any variable in the editor or command window showing its value (or at least dimensions) in its frame (regardless of the debugger frame) when in the debugger.
