Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2015-08-03 14:10:54 EDT 
Using CDT 8.8.0.201508011003

I was looking for a preference to see all stack frames instead of having to click "more frames" all the time and I had a hard time finding it. It is located under Run/Debug > View Performance. Since I was debugging C/C++, I was looking for it under C/C++ > Debug. As far as I know, DSF is only used to debug C/C++ so it make sense to me there.

I suggest moving the View Performance page under C/C++ > Debug.

Also, I haven't found documentation about the debug preferences, I found it by "grepping" the CDT git repo.
