Idea IDE — how do I quickly find the next statement about to be executed?

While debugging with the Idea IDE (Intellij), you at times wander a bit and once you've found what you wanted, you try to go back to the next line about to be executed. Maybe you want to know whether to execute or enter the next line.

From what I can see, there are no options in the menus to do that. I though I would be able to click menu and/or use a key stroke... I also searched on Google:

idea IDE go to line to be executed next

and was able to find a lot of things about how to run the debugger, which I know all about already, but I could not find anything about how to place your cursor back on the next line of execution. Maybe because it's just way too simple.

Solution: click on the top of the stack, it will move your mouse right back to the blue line.

I like it when there is a simple solution I was just surprised that my searches did not return anything useful. I had to think about it to find it.
