The problem with <html> tags appearing in variable values was already fixed some time ago. But it seems that it keeps appearing specifically for long String values. To reproduce: StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); int n = 99000; int r = Character.MAX_RADIX - 1; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { sb.append(Integer.toString(i % r, r)); } String s = sb.toString(); put a line breakpoint to the last line and debug. After the debugger is suspended, the value of "sb" is enclosed in <html> tags. If the String is smaller (n = 100), the tags do not appear.
