Description
From @spassvogel on August 22, 2018 10:13
I think the formatting of collections in the debug watch window can use a lot of improvement. Compare how visual studio code currently handles a list of String.
Whereas in Visual Studio the quick watch feature was much more useful:
In general, I am mostly interested in the values in the collection, which I have to dig down four levels of hierarchy in vscode and is quite obfuscated.
