Description aschwarz1309 2012-10-11 20:14:56 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207171143)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_03
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.1-b02

In C++ debugging:

In using the 'variables' window during debugging, if the near-to-bottom variable is a structure (class) and is expanded then and if the expanded data exceeds the height of the window then the output is truncated until the  user pages the display down. It would be a benefit if the paging were done automatically.

As an example:

supporse X  is a struct with two int's in it.
    struct X{
       int X1;
       int X2;
   }  
then if X is at the 'bottom' of the variable window, neither of the int's will be displayed until the screen is scrolled down. It would be convenient to execute the intent of the operation by automatically displaying the entire structure and associated values

Behavior of Java environment is the same.
