How can I make the debugger view default to the "Debugger" tab instead of the "Console" tab?

This thread seems to indicate that I'd get the desired behavior by default:

However, when my debugger starts, it stays on the "Console" tab. Any idea why this might be happening and what I might do to have it switch to the "Debugger" tab instead?

Hi, right click console tab header and unset "Focus On Startup" (or enable it for any other tab)

Thanks, Egor. That definitely seems to work, though I could swear that without making that change, the Java debugger automatically moves to the Debugger tab whereas my plugin's debugger does not. Nonetheless, that seems to give me what I want, and I can document that for my plugin's users. Thanks again!
