Description David Balažic CLA 2009-11-19 09:30:36 EST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

I noticed that in about half of my debug sessions the variable value popup when pointed by mouse does not work. Instead of the variable value as usual, its type is written.

Example:
in the code I have : data,
if I move the mouse pointer over "data" and wait a second, normally a popup with the value of the variable "data" appears.

But when this bug happens, instead of the value, the type info pops up:
FooType data - com.foo.bar.Baz.method1(String, FooType, Object)

I also noticed that if I point over the character following the variable name (in this example it is the comma), the the desired value popup appears.

This happens in every second-third debug session and was very annoying, until I discovered during this bug submit, that pointing to the following character shows the value...

Reproducible: Sometimes

I too have experienced this same problem.

Can you provide a complete snippet and steps that reproduces the problem?

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.

Can't do much without steps to reproduce. Haven't see this personally but will keep an eye if I observe something like this.

Please reopen if anyone has steps.
