Instantly Expanding Long Callstacks in the Concurrency Visualizer Reports

Did you notice that reports frequently show pretty long stacks?  E.g. in the picture below it is 12 frames deep, but sometimes it can be a hundred… and very frequently you need the deepest one to see what is going on. Are you supposed to click on “+” hundred times?  Happily, there is a shortcut – asterisk (*) on the numerical pad (not on the main keyboard!).  Just select any line containing plus (+), click asterisk on a numerical pad, and it will be opened all the way down.

Sometimes the absence of such small details ruins the whole experience…
