The data is truncated to 255 characters and it's very difficult to find the appropriate variable within the structure. I have now uploaded a patch (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21990) that adds a treeview where each variable within the structure is shown. You can easily scroll down to find the desired variable and nothing gets truncated anymore.

As for the aim...

I would like watches that have structure, to have a "[+]" sign, and be 
able to expand in the grid.
