Why did LabVIEW stop telling me which VI is currently executing?

This should hopefully be an easy question, but I've searched a few ways here in the forums and found no answer.

 

I'm running my code composed of 100+ VIs. I want LabVIEW to tell me which VI is currently being executed so I can go take a look at that. Usually I click on the pause button on the main VI, the executing block flashes and I can go dig, dig, dig, repeat the process if necessary until I find the VI executing. Clicking on highlight execution usually works because it will show the green arrow on the executing VI (and TYPICALLY grays out code that hasn't executed), so then I can double click and dig, dig, dig etc. These methods a) takes more time than they should and b) don't always work because sometimes I click on pause and nothing flashes or I click on execution highlighting and I can't actually find which VI has the green arrow on my block diagram and unexecuted code has not been grayed out (haven't distilled the rule for that yet). I would love it if LV could just tell me which VI is currently being executed so I could immediately go there.

 

Am I missing something obvious? It happens. I'm using LV 2010 but I've noticed this through several iteration of LV.

 

Thank you!

I'm not sure why this happens, but when it happens to me I've run the Profile VI's tool to see which one is currently running.
