Description phatduckk 2008-12-20 23:05:16 UTC 
In the "Local Variables" or "watches" panes all objects' types are listed as "object". This is not useful at all.

If I have an object of class User - the debugger should display "User" in the "Local Variables" & "Watches" panes. In the current implementation no matter what 
the type of an object their type is displayed as "object".

xdebug's var_dump output will list the actual name of an object - so it looks as though the info is available. Just not used
