When the debug window is just opened it is not possible to scroll properly: it keeps jumping to the top. After resizing the debug window behaves properly. A minor inconvenience.

This has changed in v3.00? I don't know how that is possible, because the debugger is identical to what it was in v2.86!
Can you provide some instructions for how to reproduce the effect (if I simply run a program using the debugger, I can scroll the listview OK).

No, I noticed it before, but didn't bother mentioning it.
First of all you need a code with lots of variables, then set a breakpoint far in that code, so that the debug window shows a vertical scroll bar.
Taking a better look at it I found that it occurs when selecting a line in de debugger window (the line becomes blue). Then scrolling doesn't work. The window tries to keep the selected line in the window. The only way to deselect the line is to resize the window or to minimize it. Then you can scroll again.
Maybe this is this intentional, to keep a variable in sight?

It's a documented feature: "If you want to monitor the value of a specific variable you can click on it; it will then be highlighted and the list will be scrolled automatically to keep it in view. To deselect that variable click in the title bar of the debugging window."
