Shows the issue

* open application (f.e. anagram game)
* set a breakpoint in a containing class
* create a toString()-method for the same class, which throws an exception
* start application in debug mode 
* navigate till the breakpoint is hit
* open variable view -> popup with an exception 

It is a regression, because this works in 8.0.2. See the screenshot

Just super, i've pointed this out several times. How about my earlier suggestion of implementing a model that the debugger can safley use? as;

@DebugSafe
private String debugSafeToString() {
  return ...;
}

or something similar...
