[python-win32] Problems with PythonWin Debugger and interactive window

I've been trying to debug a short program with the PythonWin debugger, on 
XP. I'm using 2.3 Build 202.
I keep seeing problems where variables I am watching don't always get 
updated, as well as just erratic operation.
Restarting doesn't help, I usually have to exit PythonWin, and start over 
again.




Another problem is that the bottom most line of the interactive window is 
not visible, unless PythonWin is in full-screen mode.
This means I'm usually tying blind, and can't see the results unless I 
press enter several times.
This has been a recurring problem at least since 2.2.
it would be very helpfull to be able to look at a help file in the upper 
part of the display, while working with PythonWin minimized to half screen 
height, in the lower half of the display.
But since the bottom several lines aren't visible (they are hidden), I have 
to always run in full screen mode.
I see this problem on 3 different computers that I work with.

Has anyone else seen any problems like this in the debugger or the 
interactive window ?
