After pressing the debug commands, user needs to be notified that the IDE is responsive. It happened quite a lot of times that after pressing F5 the debugger continued in the background, but until it reaches the next breakpoint it took same time and the IDE looked not responsive. I would suggest to let user now that the debugger is continuing by using StatusDisplayer right after executing debugger actions.
