Cannot check array[0].lengh variable in debugger

Hi everyone.

I have an issue when trying to debug a program that contains 2D array. If I try to put breakpoints checking for array[0].length, it fails with:

Breakpoint condition 'array[0].length > 0' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): length cannot be resolved or is not a field.

After somme diggining, it seems that the debugger considers the array[0] object as a double:

Breakpoint condition 'array[0][0] == 0' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to double.

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks

Nicolas

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add in Watch array.length
2. Add in Watch array[0].length
3. Add coniditional breakpoint in line 15: array[0].length > 0

Current Result

Breakpoint condition 'array[0].length > 0' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): length cannot be resolved or is not a field.

Expected Result

Debugger should stop on breakpoint without error

Files

Code source: TestDebugger.java.txt
Log file:
client.log.2023-08-24.txt

Start by running the attached TestDebugger.java.txt reproduction in VS Code and inspect client.log.2023-08-24.txt alongside the debugger expression-evaluation behavior for array.length and array[0].length. Done means watch expressions and the conditional breakpoint involving array[0].length evaluate without errors.
