This however, seems not possibl= e for dynamic variable objects that are a direct or indirect child of anoth= er dynamic variable object. Is there some mistake on my side? Would it help to enter a bug that -var-evualuate-expression always returns = the result of the pretty printers to_string() method? Jens.
