IntelliJ IDEA 12 -- viewing the call stack

I've had it where the Frames and Threads debug tabs are collapsed and only the Variables tab is visible. In this case click and drag the left window edge of the Variables tab to the right.enter image description here


I had only the view on 'Variables', finally what helped was clicking 'Restore Layout' on the left side of Debugger window (this button: button). Somehow I must have remove 'Frames' before - no other way to restore it...


It's on the lower left in the debug window.


The call stack is viewable when you click on the 'Debug' button on the bottom toolbar: enter image description here

Specifically, the call stack is as highlighted below : enter image description here

You may also be interested in an alternative threads view, enabled by clicking the 'Restore threads view' button: enter image description here

Here is a bit of official documentation around debugging that you may find useful if you are new to IntelliJ:
