Has anybody tried to partially highlight the other shared activations? �i.e. in the below if you selected any of the updateReport activations (home or blocks within it) the other activations could be highlighted in a lighter colour.

The debugger in Pharo 1.4 is looking very nice - cleaner and easier to follow. � I wonder if the following might be an additional improvement...

If you consider a class has a method subpart which has a block subpart, then the "natural flow" of these would continue from left to right.
Referring to [1] - having the "Block" text on the left breaks this sense of "flow". � What I've drawn in [2] feels more natural to me.

Possible advantages:
* It is easier to see the five SystemReporter items line up.
* Balances brevity with giving a bit of context to distinguish nested blocks.
