I added something like it to the troubleshooting section: If you want to debug your problem further before reporting, possibly in order to solve the problem yourself and send a patch, you can use edebug. Debugging lisp code is documented in the Elisp manual (*note Debugging Lisp Programs: (elisp)Debugging.). To get you started with edebug, consider if you discover some weird behaviour when pressing `c', the first step is to do `C-h k c' and click on the hyperlink (Emacs only) in the documentation buffer that leads you to the function definition, then press `M-x edebug-defun RET' with point inside that function, return to Gnus and press `c' to invoke the code. You will be placed in the lisp buffer and can single step using `SPC' and evaluate expressions using `M-:' or inspect variables using `C-h v', abort execution with `q', resume execution with `c' or `g'.
