Description

With the old Debugger.jl I could scroll up and see the previous state, including after hitting ^D. With the new Debugger the text corresponding to previous state is deleted at each stage, and everything is lost after ^D.

How do I see the old output?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the debugger session described in the issue, including moving between stages and pressing ^D, then compare the new Debugger's behavior with the old Debugger.jl behavior. Determine whether previous output can be retained or recovered; done means identifying the supported way to view it or clearly documenting that it is unavailable.
