See issue #179950.
Sometimes an error occurs in JPDA (debugger backend likely) and it's not possible to retrieve values of fields, etc. Instead (or together with) throwing errors, display an error value in the Variables table - red value with text like:
"There was an error retrieving this value because of JVM eror: " + internalException.getMessage()
