Debugging async call stack in Rider

Rider 2018.3.4, dotnet core 2.2

I can't figure out how to debug async stack in Rider. Rider only shows the last async method call for me in debugger, I cannot navigate to previous stack frames, I cannot figure out from where this method was called.

For example, I have a simple "Hello World" project like this

using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {            
            Method1(1).Wait();
        }

        static async Task Method1(int i)
        {
            await Method2(i + 1);
        }

        static async Task Method2(int i)
        {
            await Method3(i + 2);
        }

        static async Task Method3(int i)
        {
            await Task.Delay(100);
        }
    }
}

And this is what Rider debugger is showing me if I put a breakpoint after "await Task.Delay(100)".

Interestingly, VSCode shows me what I expect and I can switch to previous stack frames in it:

Is it me doing something wrong or does Rider simply not support this? Does Rider have adding this feature in the Roadmap? It looks pretty basic and essential for productive work.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong... it is very annoying!

I am disappointed no-one from Jetbrains has responded so I have created a bug:

Is there any update on this matter? Visual Studio has a Tasks view as well as a Threads view.

Hi Troy Garner! 

Tasks view window has not been implemented yet. Please upvote the request to show your interest!

Really hope this gets addressed, personally feel it's a pretty essential feature of the debugger that's supported by competing IDEs, and even by other JetBrains products for different debuggers.

Gosh I am also incredibly surprised this doesn't exist! Is this being worked on?

I want to see this feature as well. Visual Studio's tasks debug window needs to be added.
