The representation of a variable introspected in the Debug Console can be clipped on VSCode.

Type: Bug

Please look at the picture:

In case you need it:

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [
        ['A', 'short text', 1],
        ['A', '1 very 2 very 3 very 4 very 5 very 6 very 7 very 8 very 9 very 10 very text', 2],
        ['A', 'not so long text', 3],
    ], columns=['first', 'description', 'last']
)
df
  first                                        description  last
0     A                                         short text     1
1     A  1 very 2 very 3 very 4 very 5 very 6 very 7 ve...     2
2     A                                   not so long text     3
len(df)

df.iloc[-1]

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

@fabioz I can move it into the vscode repo, if this turns out to be a vscode issue.

@roblourens one thing to note is that in this use case he has disabled word-wrap in the debug console – and in https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/issues/1078#issuecomment-1285080300 there are some other strange things in his use case.

I’ve been able to reproduce getting different heights in this case (but I haven been able to reproduce the case where this makes a clip as in the report).
