No, the repeat count would have been well within the bounds of the array.

No, didn't even know there was "detail pane". :)


I was just evaluating the latest debugging features in Lazarus IDE, and
comparing GDB and fpDebug output.

I also wanted to see if Lazarus IDE had something like Haiku's Debugger
has - Array Ranges. If it didn't (Repeat Count seems close), I thought I
might take a shot at implementing it. It doesn't seem too hard to
accomplish [please correct me if I am wrong].
