Ah, oops. I think you hit the bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502634. It has been fixed in svn.
Basically you might be using compiz or some whizbang window manager.
Disabling that and going back to metacity might work around the problem
For now.

Oh well, I guess this means we really need to push a new release out
shortly.

Yeah, that is a problem for now. We need to add support for visualizing
array variables. For now, what you can do to workaround that problem is to
hit F12. That will popup a variable inspector in which you can type the
name of the variable you want to inspect. For instance you can type array[4],
if array is your wchar* variable.

To be sure we don't forget about this missing feature, I have filed an
enhancement request in our bugzilla at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515168.
Please do not hesitate to add comments to that enhancement request to help
us have ideas about how present that feature to users, in future versions.


Thank you for reporting those problems.
