In the local variables view, the "Display as" contextual menu item doesn't always get shown when a variable can have its display setting changed. I can't specify a particular way to reproduce this. I have found that if one right-clicks around in the local variables view, sometimes clicking in the blank area, sometimes on a variable that can't be displayed-as, and sometimes one one that can, the "display as" item may or may not be shown on the variable that can be changed in all cases.
This problem has probably gone along with the old Debugger window. I cannot reproduce it anymore. If it happens again, please reopen.
