Description
Positron Version:
2024.04.0 (Universal) build 1587
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Create more than 10,000 objects/items in Python, and view in the Variables pane:
for j in range(1,20000,1):
exec('var_%d = j'%j)
The Variables pane correctly truncates to 10,000 items (as fixed for #2893) but we do not see any visual indication that truncation has happened.
What did you expect to happen?
A truncation indicator like we see for >100 children:
Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?
None that I believe are related to this

Research direction
