Tool tip for evaluating variable while debugging does not respect \n in strings
and prints them in single line.

The problem here is that the tooltip text does not fit on the screen. However, I
do not think that \n or any other control characters in string values should be
interpreted in a special way. They are just characters in a string and you are
interested in knowing that they are there, so they should not be used for
display formatting.

Comment 4 Roman Ondruska 2007-07-16 16:01:44 UTC

Tooltip UI must be specified for such case.

Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2008-11-18 16:07:24 UTC

Already fixed in NetBeans 6.5.
