Call Stack should be able to render from both sides

[Devon7925]

Call stack is a very helpful debugging tool, but I find it often useless when dealing with stack overflows because the issue may be caused by a bad initial condition. This means that you have to look near the bottom of the call stack. This is currently difficult because it means that you have to press the Load More Stack Frames button over and over and scroll down until you reach the desired location. This could be fixed if call stack rendered frames from both sides in the event where there are too many to render at one time. This would also necessitate two Load More Stack Frames buttons one for each side.

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Debugger call stack sometimes is missing frames with no "Load More Stack Frames" button (#68474)
• Call Stack appears broken (#67791)

Not a duplicate

This is how most websites fix this issue. Rendering start, end, and around whatever focused element.

I think you mean "This means that you have to look near the bottom of the call stack."

@isidorn we could show a "show bottom" button.

[isidorn]

Leaving as a feature request for now.
And yeah we could have a show bottom button in the title bar. However this seems like bloat for now and I would wait for more feedback.

[weinand]

Why in the title bar?
Just another button next to the "Load More Stack Frames" button.

[isidorn]

Aha yes. That makes more sense.
