Description

I use the Flutter 83.0.4 plug-in for IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3.1.1 (Ultimate Edition). The debug view makes it hard to look at longer values. Wrapping text there would help!

Here's the Flutter debug view in action (1). I look at a long value that appears in one long line (2). So I click on the "View" link (3). A separate window opens – but again, it's one long line (4). And this despite the fact that there's a whole window available. No, you have to scroll to the right (5).

I did not find a setting or preference anywhere to wrap values to the window widht in the "View" view of the Flutter debugger. There should be one, like in the log view part of the debugger (1).
