This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - create Quote sample - set BP in line 133 - start debugging - enter any localized string value e.g. "иии" - open Variables Result: "customerName" is shown as "\\350\\350\\350". There should be a possibility to switch locale in debugger.
gdb is unable to do the decoding itself, on my machine it understands only ASCII and ISO-8859-1 charsets, none helps. IDE could possibly do that but it would require rather significant change in gdb output processing.
