Description Martin Entlicher 2015-07-28 09:49:10 UTC 
Watches window displays old error message in the String Value column.
To reproduce:
1) Debug a Java project, which has some int field (e.g. that in issue #253649).
2) Add a watch for some non-existent variable, e.g. "unknown".
3) Set the String value column as visible.
4) The String value correctly displays ">"unknown" is not a known variable in the current context.<" red error message.
5) Now change the "unknown" to "field". The Value column correctly displays the field's value, but the String value column keeps the old error message.
