Hi!
Michael Heerdegen's reply to my help request
(<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2014-06/msg00370.html>)

I can only add to this that Michael's suggestion about
`debugger-previous-window' worked fine.
Best regards,

Thanks, Toomas.
I think the debugger is now too strict about reusing the last used
window. `debug` prefers the remembered `debugger-previous-window`.
AFAIK, this variable is never unset, so the debugger tries to reuse the
last used window even when the last debugging session was over for
hours. This is a problem when that window is still existing, but not
"reachable" (say, on another display).
This is the relevant code in `debug`:
(pop-to-buffer
debugger-buffer
`((display-buffer-reuse-window
display-buffer-in-previous-window)
. (,(when debugger-previous-window
`(previous-window . ,debugger-previous-window)))))
Should we add a test whether `debugger-previous-window`s frame fulfills
(lambda (frame) (eq t (frame-visible-p frame))) ?
Thanks,
Michael.

How about just unsetting the debugger-previous-window when the session
is over, we already know this info from the `debugger-will-be-back'
variable:
