Description Samantha Chan

It doesn't matter if I have show columns on.
For a small array (e.g. smallArray in testcase) where the variable is not partitioned, if the array is changed, the changes are highlighted with red / yellow.

For a large array, changes are not shown as things get added in the array.  When strings are added in the "strings" array, the changes are not highlighted.


Testcase:
		String[] strings = new String[1000];	
		strings[0] = "a";
		strings[1] = "b";
		
		String[] smallArray = new String[5];
		smallArray[0] = "a";
		smallArray[1] = "b";

This works for me. I would not expect it to work for logical structures, as the structure is computed new each time, and thus it has not really "changed" (or, the entire structure has changed, depending on how you look at it).

Reopening as I just encountered this problem in I20070403-1110.

Highlighting works fine for small arrays.  If the array is large enough to be partitioned, the elements are not highlighted as they change.  Occurs with and without columns.

When the array is accessed as one collection (not partitioned), it caches its variables to re-use them, so it can tell that the value has changed. When the array is accessed as an indexed collection by the partition, it does not cache its variables (each index) - it creates a new one each time, so it has no history, and thinks the value has not changed.

Not planned for 3.3

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
