[texworks] Qtscript debugger doesn't open

Hi,
Thank you to the developers  for their  great work on TeXworks

On a freshly (re)-installed Windows  box, I encounter a new problem :
when an error occurs in a (JS)  script, the Qtscript  debugger never opens,
and I get only a small alert box.

Of course, I have enabled the corresponding checkbox in Preferences>>Scripts
I read the mailing list archive, and various docs by Paul A Norman (a 
big thank you to him too).
I also fiddled with the security options, without success.

This behavior is common  to official  -TUG) 0.6.8 and 0.6.9 versions, to 
up-to-date miktex packaged version (0.6.8)
and to a prerelease 0.7.0 version.

On several (older) Win 10 PC that I tested, this works perfectly with 
all the quoted  versions.
What am I doing wrong?
  Any help would be highly appreciated !
