I miss a feature that I use a lot in the MS Visual Studio debugger.
Sometimes you scroll away from (what Eclipse calls) the current
instruction pointer to look for something. Maybe you switch to another
file.
Then after a while you want to continue debugging and want to return to
the current instruction pointer for that.

Visual Studio has a button in the debug toolbar where I can get back to
the current statement very easily.
I could not find anything like that in Eclipse. Am I too blind?

You can click on the top stack frame in the debug view.
