Description _ gtzabari 2015-02-17 20:02:54 UTC 
Currently, the debugger renders values as single-line Strings. When trying to view a String containing JSON or XML structure, it is impossible to read the value without opening the Property Editor every time. Opening the property editor every time is very unproductive if you want to view how the value of the String changes as you step over code.

I'd like to request the ability to view multi-line Strings directly in the Variables tab, without having to open a property editor.
