Description

In attach debug, if there are a lot of local variables containing array of objects, the extension fetch a deep copy back to the editor making each step very slow. IntelliJ run fast by only showing the variable's name and type and only fetch the content when I unfold it in watch panel. I would like to have this on the extension.

Environment
  • Operating System: Arch
  • JDK version: 9.0.4
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.24.1
  • Java extension version: 0.26.0
  • Java Debugger extension version: 0.9.0
