Does anyone know of a way either at runtime or otherwise of setting the width / height of the debugger window?
You can obviously expand the window with the open debugger action of the special object but I can see no way to set the size. At the moment I am having to resize the window every time I test my app and it would be really useful to be able to automate that.

No you need to resize it every time.
Note this is a new feature and hasn't been fully developed yet. As time goes on I am sure it will be enhanced and improved.

Yeah, I had come to that conclusion. In the mean time, anyone else who is finding this bothersome might want to check out this handy free tool:

It lets you create custom window positions and sizes and apply them to windows at will. I have an "MMF Debugger" profile so I can quickly right-click on the border of the debugger window and make it jump to a set size and position.
Very handy for many other things too! <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I really like the debugger extension in MMF1.5, where you had a console you can output text to. Since events can trigger text, you could always figure exactly when, and how a series of events actually occured <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> If MMF2's debugger will be more expanded, I'm really hoping for something like that - alternatively someone porting the debugger console extension <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The debugger console was probably my favourite extension and it will still be useful if it is ported for the reasons you described, allowing you to see exactly which events are running and in which order. I've always wanted to see a VB-like 'step-through' debugger whereby each condition in an event is highlighted as it is processed and by pressing a key on the keyboard you can go to the next condition to see that being processed. It would be useful to see exactly why an event is running or why an event isn't running. I suppose that's for a far and distant wish list though :^) I'm not sure if it would even be possible in MMF.
