debugger problem in VFP9

I hate to quibble, but...

In the Trace window, if you hover the mouse pointer over a variable or
field, you get a ToolTip window showing the value of that variable. A very
useful feature!

But new to VFP9, if the value is a string, what's shown does not include the
string delimiters, ie quotation marks. That makes it impossible to
differentiate between 12345 and "12345". And it's difficult to tell between
"ABC" and "ABC ".

This is known, and is already in the ER bin.

Paul,
This has been discussed, and will likely be "fixed" in the first service =
pack whenever that may be. (I really don't expect it for a while, but I =
have no inside information on that.) In the meantime, just use the Watch =
window to view '"'+mystring+'"' or add a len(mystring).
