Bruce,

I don't understand what you meant by the 'traceback panel'. I've tried
expanding the Console area in both directions, but that made no
difference. I've tried other desktop themes (original was 'Select a
Theme', which I've left alone for all my projects) but that made no
difference.
I noticed that the red no entry icon appears in a small rectangular area
at the top right corner of the Console output, the rest of that small
area being blank.
