[Eric] eric4 configuration: how to see complete error tracebacks?

hello,

i love eric for python programming, but there's one thing that makes
the experience less pleasant:

when executing a script from eric, when an error occurs, i'd love to
see the complete python error tracebacks and not just the last line
which shows up in the error popup.
does this option exist? somehow i don't find it in the preferences. or
is there a better way to discover how the problem occurred?
i also find it annoying that the source code of the python source
shows up if the most recent error happened in a python source file.
can i switch that off? (or even better: can i get it to show _my_ last
file where the error happened, i.e., exclusively the position in the
last file _inside_ the project?)

thanks in advance for any hint
kim



ps: unrelated minor issues, but since i'm writing already...:
- why does "compile form" in the "forms" tab gives me that
"successful" window and "compile all forms" doesn't? i'd love the
window to show up only if an error happened, just like for "compile
all forms". even greater would be if i could tell eric to recompile
automatically if an ui-file in my list hast changed...
- why can eric restart normal qt-windows (with F4 for example) and
modal windows have to be killed explicitely first?
