Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-10-10 10:32:35 UTC 
Previously it was possible to see formatted String Value by pressing on "..." in the cell. Now there is no such possibility and tooltip shows plain text which impossible to copy and analyze
Comment 1 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-10-10 11:13:57 UTC 
Martin, can you have a look, please. It is close to impossible to debug now
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2012-10-10 11:29:51 UTC 
I'm not aware of anything that would have changed in this area.
String values can be seen after you toggle the "$" sign in Variables window, or in the "String value" column. Did this functionality disappear for you?
Comment 3 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-10-11 08:58:10 UTC 
I have "String value" column. But previously it had "..." at the end of cell and I could press it and have modal dialog to see full string with ability to copy it as well. Now "..." disapeared => long toString values are impossible to analyze.

Can it be related to recently committed @PropertyEditorRegistration?
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2012-10-11 09:16:31 UTC 
If it has disappeared, it's not a bug of debugger at all. It's a regression in the properties. I'll check it...
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2012-10-11 14:29:59 UTC 
This problem is on more places than debugger views.
Comment 6 Jan Horvath 2012-10-11 21:30:26 UTC 
The problem is that the set of property editor search paths is kept in non ordered HashSet and the default JDK search path "sun.beans.editor"  can be registered before "org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors". The default editor without the "..." button is displayed then.
