Details:

When debugging, if you navigate using dbup or dbdown to move around the call
stack, the GUI editor debugger does not open the same file and display where
you are in the stack in the editor. It still displays the last place in the
stack.

It would also be very helpful if the visual debugger would open the file at
the current position in the call stack when you navigate it. Similarly, a GUI
method of navigating the call stack would be nice, as is present in other
IDEs, including Matlab. In Matlab this is a simple drop down box where you can
select the desired position in the call stack. 

I have put this as a feature request, but I would suggest that not displaying
the current file in the editor is verging on being a bug.
