Description
Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?
PDE
Processing version
4.4.4
Operating system
MacOS 12.7.6
Steps to reproduce this
"1. Just write some code with an Array or any other variable or object that shows collapsed in the variables window when debugging with processing IDE.
-
Start debugging and go to the variables window.
-
Click the Array for it to open, the > simbol at the left changes to the open position but do nothing happens.
-
Click again and the > simbol changes to the "closed" position.
-
Click again and now everything works as expected."
snippet
// Paste your code below :)
String arrayTest[] = {"1", "2", "3"};
void setup() {
printArray(arrayTest);
}
// Setup a break point somewhere in order to be able to use the variables window
Additional context
I have seen this behaviour in the last two or three versions I tried.
After you double click and see contents of the Array it behaves ok and only one clik is needed to open and close it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Processing IDE debugger with the provided String array sketch on macOS. Trace the PDE debugger's variables-window handling for collapsed arrays; done means a single click consistently expands and collapses the array contents.
