Once I understood that I have to toggle twice "selected node for trace/debug" in order to take in consideration new nodes selection I'm able to debug my selected nodes.  
FYI that works inside subflows too.

Really useful module to debug selectively.

kind of intentional confusing to preventing flooding of the debug panel with busy nodes and many messages. the idea is that you have to select node(s) and then toggle the tracing on. if none are selected and the option "trace all" isn't selected, then the toggle on will not work because I want folks to say "yes I know what I'm doing when I trace ALL nodes" ==\> that's potentially a lot of traffic ....
