Bug: The variable explorer doesn't show the shape of np arrays in the "count" column

Bug: The variable explorer doesn’t show the shape of np arrays in the “count” column

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Create two numpy arrays:

import numpy as np
x = np.array([1,2,3])
y = np.array([[1,2,3],[1,2,3]])

1. Look at the variable explorer in the interactive window

Actual behavior

The “count” column shows only the number of rows I assume.

Expected behavior

I saw in a YouTube video that the “count” column should actually show the shape (x.shape)

I use a lot of linear algebra calculations with multi-dimensional arrays, so for me it is quite important to see the shape of an array at a glance. Workaround for me is using the iPython REPL to get the shape, which is clunky.

I think this feature is really important for many data scientists.
