Hi
if I place the cursor while debugging code over a variable in my code I can
see a tooltip like
myVar = <value>

But while this seems to  run with vars from type object there are problems
if the var is from type array or numeric or character: only if I place the
cursor over the first character of the variables name I get correct
information, otherwise there is either "unknown function" or "expected
return with error" or something else.
Is this behaviour intended to be? I think it should be better in next
release and show correct informations whereever I place the cursor over the
variable in the code.

Klemens,

can you give us a scenario for reproducing this? I've found that
the debugger sometimes requires some careful positioning of the
cursor but only for short variable names, such as "a" or "i". I
can't remember having seen this for more complex names yet.

The behaviour you describe is not intended, of course.

Regards,
  Till
