The way I use the debug log is like this:
- click Restart in debug mode
- see the output
- click Restart (the blue button, from then on)
In previous debug logs display behaviour, to which I got used, this resulted often in several notepad (notepad3 in my case) files in taskbar - like tmp56yhhh.txt, tmp82883jjj.txt, and so on. I wouldn't close them immediately after checking, so I often ended up with the taskbar full of log files, as I don't combine tasks in taskbar. One solution for this would be a batch script to terminate all notepad3 processes, however I have often times other unsaved notes open, then...this not suitable.
Current behaviour to which I'm trying to get used: initially the notepad3 calibre-debug-log.txt file opens empty and i get the following prompt after the first restart:
What I do is click "Monitor" and this works fine because there's only one item in taskbar during all restarts. But in a previous 8.x version, can't pinpoint which, something wasn't working correctly; I believe this has been fixed by

I'd need to click Monitor all the time across restarts - not just once upon initial restart. Today on quick tests I notice it's needed to click Monitor only once and that's great news, but I sometimes would like to see the overwritten logs like before - one for each restart.
