Ride offers to switch off the toolbar in the editor:

Preferences > Trace/Edit > Show toolbar

Why would anybody want to switch this off? I think it's fair to say that 99% of the users won't.

If you switch it off by accident, like me, you might get confused when the Tracer all of a sudden does not show the icons for "Continue this thread", "Continue all threads" etc.

In essence, this feature, catering to the needs of a minute fraction of users, possesses the capacity to befuddle a significantly larger number of users than it could ever benefit.

Keep things simple, therefore get rid of this config option.

The toolbar eats up valuable screen estate, especially when demonstrating things using a large font size:

How about moving (or copying?) the option to View > Show Trace/Edit Toolbar, making it a bit easier to discover?
