Summary:

When using the CodeView debugger or the debugger in the QuickC

integrated environment, the Quick Watch feature may appear to hang

when expanding an element in a large array (usually greater than 1000

elements, but system dependent). This apparent problem is caused by

the time it takes to re-align the data in the window, and is actually

normal operation. If you place the same array element in the Watch

window, it will expand instantly.
