I don't know if there are plans to improve debug nodes.

In the meantime, here is a [suggested approach](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/output-to-debug-window-disappears-too-fast/86316/12)

It's not the slightest bit elegant but has some advantages

- You replace all debug nodes with a simple link to a central debug flow (or sublflow?).
- You can restrict those messages which get displayed according to msg.topic
- You can allow or prohibit any where msg.topic is not included in the filter list.
