The problem is that I now want to _quickly_ go up and down the stack trace to go directly to the source code along the stack trace. Instruments does not seem to allow that. I want to be able hit a key stroke (or click a button) to go up and down the stack in the source code view.

To go up and down the stack trace, one must click on the Navigation bar to go back to the stack trace. Instruments then refreshes the stack trace and does _not_ highlight what the user last clicked. The user then _has_ to search for what was last clicked. This searching takes a few seconds. Then when one finds the entry that was last clicked, one can then choose the entry above or below it to go to the next source code location. In all this searching, clicking etc., the brain is distracted enough to not concentrate on the issue at hand.

But it does _not_ get Xcode to go to the line number. Xcode opens the file but does not scroll down to the line # that the stack trace contains. If it highlighted the entry, I could at least go up and down the trace much quicker than I can now.
