Description _ gtzabari 2002-08-10 19:50:06 UTC 
dev build 200208020100

   When using the LOCAL VARIABLE view in the
debugger window and browsing the value of a class
that contains another class as a field and so
forth (very deep nesting of fields) it is
impossible for me to view the contents of the
fields beyond level 2. The old debugger view
allowed scrolling left/right if the nesting was
large. 

   I am proposing you add the horizontal scrollbar
back.

One possibility here would be to remove Type column by default.  But,
I don't know how much that would actually help. 

I think we could use the earlier-suggested idea of having a scroll bar
on only the Name column, since I think a scroll bar for the whole
component would be troublesome since it would make it difficult to see
and get at the values column.
