Description
Win10_64, C++ tool 0.28.2.
When I am debugging, sometimes long string variable occurs, and I need to copy it.
As it is not a constant, I tried to copy it by right clicking the variable in debug window, but got some string cut--- for example, the original string like ABCDEFGHIGKLMNOPQRST may become ABCDEFGHI... with needless ellipsis.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Win10_64 with the C++ tool version 0.28.2 by inspecting a long string variable in the debug window and using the right-click copy action. Trace that copy action from the debug window and verify that the copied value preserves the complete string instead of replacing its ending with an ellipsis.
