Description _ leonchiver 2004-10-01 11:08:35 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200409301800 ]
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.5.0 ]

summary already says it.

reproduction scenario:

char c[] = new char[10000];
System.out.println(c); // Breakpoint here

now expand c in the variables window. it takes
quite a long time to expand the node. 
other ide's handle this situation by showing only
a few positions from the array.
Comment 1 _ lcincura 2004-10-01 11:21:07 UTC 
IDE does not freeze, it just takes a while to display so big array. I
see it can be a big problem on slower machines, but displaying just a
portion of array is enhancement, not a bug.
Clearly a bug is, that user does not know, what happens and may thing
IDE is frozen. This will be handled by issue #49784. Add your comments
if you have any.
