This is a small but incredibly annoying problem that ought to be trivial to fix, and has cost me quite a lot of classroom time over the years. Pressing up-arrow in the Interactions Pane lets you cycle through previously executed statements so that you can re-execute them. Very very useful. BUT a statement is only added to this list when it finishes executing (successfully or due to any error). Statements that result in infinite loops or that are terminated prematurely (e.g. exiting a window) are never added to the list. The fix should simply involve adding the statement to the list before executing it instead of after. This small fix would save me and my students immeasurable time. Thanks!!!
