When TotalView displays a Variable Window, it displays structures in a compact form, concealing the elements within the structure. Click the + button to display these elements, or select the View > Expand All command to see all entries. If you want to return the display to a more compact form, you can click the - button to collapse one structure, or select the View > Collapse All command to return the window to what it was when you first opened it.
If a substructure contains more than about forty elements, TotalView does not let you expand it in line. That is, it does not place a + symbol in front of the substructure. To see the contents of this substructure, dive on it.
Similarly, if a structure contains an array as an element, TotalView only displays the array within the structure if it has fewer than about forty elements. To see the contents of an embedded array, dive on it.
