This is a natural consequence of the implementation. It's not possible to pre-load all nested variables each time the list of variables is loaded, since we would potentially retrieve a large number of values. When you start typing, you expect some reasonable response. That response could not be guaranteed, if we load all nested variables asynchronously. The amount of nested variables can be quite large and in theory, all objects that were created in the program might be loaded. That may result in not only CPU, but memory problems as well. If we would limit the depth, the search would not be reliable. However, I agree that a search like this can be useful, thus I'm changing this to an enhancement. It would most probably have to be implemented as a special kind of search. |
