Created attachment 117680 [details] screenshot of very long string shown in debugger The fly-over mechanism for showing values is very useful. But given a long string, even one with embedded newlines, the ide does not try to render the string in any useful way. My guess is that the ide is just using whatever Gdb produces. There are some useful setting, like 'set print pretty', although I don't see one for strings. In the command-line form of gdb, you would get wrap at the edge of the terminal window. It seems that NB ought to do something more useful here. See attached screenshot for unhelpful output.
Created attachment 118356 [details] wrapped tooltips on my machines (S11 and Ubuntu) tooltips are wrapped at the edge of the editor window, debugger could do some work here but if NB window manager does not wrap tooltips on your platform this is a NB bug.
The simplest solution, in this case, would be to render \n as a newline :-)
agree, still worth filing a bug on NB window manager that it does not wrap tooltips with your configuration
Sorry... looking at this again, are you suggesting this should be retargeted to the NB window manager, or that another bug should be filed targeting NB window manager?
