IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

The Frames pane enables you to gain access to the list of threads of your application , export to a text file and customize thread presentation . For each thread, you can view stack frame, examine frames, navigate between frames, and automatically jump to the source code of a frame in the editor. A thread can be chosen via a thread selector drop-down list on top of the pane. The status and type of a thread is indicated by the special icon and textual note next to the thread's name.

To examine the values stored in a frame, use the Variables pane of the Debug tool window.
