Created attachment 157336 [details] Small project containing a local var, a global var and an array which is When I am stopped at a breakpoint and hover over a variable, I expect to see the current value. After installing Netbeans 8.1, this is no longer true. I can sometimes (but not always) see simple vars, but I can never see array contents. A window opens but there is nothing there. It is usually blank but may occasionally have some data that is not what is desired. In order to diagnose this, I uninstalled all Netbeans versions and then re-installed Netbeans 8.1. Same result. I then ran a complete virus check on my computer(clean). I am attaching a small Netbeans project zip that exhibits the problem for an array. When in the debugger, the values of both the global and local vars are correctly shown, but in my more involved code, they do not always show. The array exhibits the problem. This used to work. Thanks in advance. I love your IDE and look forward to a speedy resolution. AnnM
I goofed and this submitted before I was ready, please excuse the poor writing. In the attachment, when the debugger is paused on the line "var debug = 0" and I hover over the mx array, I get a blank popup. When I hover over the simple vars, I get the result expected.
I've some problem to run the PHP project with the local web site. But when I change it to the built-in web server, all variables, including 'mx' are displayed fine for me. Also when I copy the index.html file to a HTML5/JavaScript project, after it's suspended on the breakpoint, I can evaluate whatever. Hoover on the mx array shows: "mx = (Array) Array[2]" tooltip. After clicking on the expansion sign in the tooltip, I can see it's elements. Can you please check if it works for you in an HTML5/JavaScript project? In case of PHP project, do you use Run or Debug to execute the project? In case of debug, the xdebug starts as well to debug PHP, but it didn't change the tooltips in JavaScript code for me.
I've got a response from the reporter that this seems to be some problem on the user computer, on an other system it works fine for them.
