Tracking Pinia events in Vue DevTools -- possible? (Solved)

I used to make extensive use of VueDevtools to view Vuex mutations. Everything was there -- which field, data that was passed, etc. And it was easy to use. Now I'm migrating my app to Pinia, and the find the Devtools interface virtually impenetrable and useless. For Pinia events, all I see are tiny yellow dots that offer tiny snippets of info on hover. And that's it.

Is there some way to get more info from these dots? I can shrink the horizontal space with the arrows at the top, but to what end? Clicking other things in this so-called UI brings unexpected results. There must be some higher level of consciousness I have to achieve in order to understand and use this thing. Can anyone help me understand how to use this tool?

In the middle of right-end, there is a small expand icon where you can see the history.

May be you have mistakenly collapsed the section.

@Niush What does the expand icon look like... Oh jeez, there it is. That tiny triangle... that's much better. Now I can see the history. Thank you! Wow, I really dislike this new design.
