Display multiline string in the debug view tooltips as actual multiline strings #8506

@DevAM-Tools

At the moment tooltips in the debugging view show multiline strings as single line strings. Line breaks are shown in their escaped form. This makes it hard to read multi line strings when debugging, especially when dealing with long strings. These are barely readable when you are debugging with VS Code.

Therefore I want to propose that the tooltips in the debugging view show strings as actual multiline strings if they contain line breaks.

Current Situation:

In comparison Visual Studio allows to view multiline strings in a separate window which is very useful.
