In the debugr window make the current line stay in the middle of the screen
In the source code dedugger listing, as one is stepping through code, Sun programmers should make the current line stay in the middle of the screen. Now the current line moves down the window as the next line is debugged until the current line is the last line on the screen then the source code move up a line at a time leaving the line that is being debugged as the last line on the screen. This would make it easier to debug since you could get a better view of what code is coming next as the stepping continues.

In sunstudio 11 IDE, when current line moves down to the last second line of screen,it would go back to the middle of the screen . The reason for this is that we don't wantto jig the screen too much.

As a user, I'm not sure I agree with the suggestion to "move up/down text"
instead of "move up/down annotation". If I have a loop, and I allocated it
in the middle of the editor window, I would prefer to see how the pointer to
the current line goes through this loop, than to see how this loop jumps up
and down to keep the pointer in the middle of editor window.
I think autoscrolling is necessary only in case current line is not on the screen.
Probably, it should be configurable behavior, but current behavior looks good
to me, and I would prefer it to be the default.
Thanks,
