How to see backtrace of an uncaught exception using xdebug and IntelliJ / PHPStorm?

Question

I have set up remote debugging on a guest OS in a Virtual Machine. Breakpoints work, but exceptions display on the rendered screen if one is reached. What I want is for the exception to be "caught" so I can explore the backtrace at the point of the error inside the IntelliJ debugger. Is this possible? What do I need to enable to make this happen?

Note: the profiler is turned off, and almost everything is set to its default in xdebug. The Host and Guest OSs are Windows.

Create "exception breakpoints" to catch exceptions at runtime https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Using+the+PhpStorm+Debugger#UsingthePhpStormDebugger-BreakingwhenThingsBreakExceptionBreakpoints

I added Exception, Warning, and Notice.

Note: the JIT mode for XDebug, while providing just in time exception handling, does not allow the use of breakpoints, so this did not directly address my need.
