There is an option "Always show output" which automatically shows a process' output when it is run. Yet, a while after the process is started in the debug mode, "Variables" is selected, even if no breakpoint has been hit. The "Variables" window not only overlaps the output window contrary to the option, but also shows no usable information: "no current context", "no variables to display", "no current thread".
