    Description

      as a user (programmer) i sometimes have long strings to debug. the variable browser displays strings on one line, but if the string is long, i can't see the entire string without rearranging the window pane, and even then, the string may be just too long to see.

      please enable "wrap long lines" for the string visualizer

      in the first screen shot (one on the right) you can see the string is too long

      in the second (on the left), even if i resize the "Value" column, the string is still too long, AND now i can't see the "Type" column. this requires me to horizontally resize the entire variable browser panel, which eats up the real-estate of my code window pane

      attempting to view long strings is disruptive to my workspace layout, as i then have to put everything back just to keep going
