Glider (IDE)

Using LuaGlider 201207171143

If you set a metatable with an __index, the table with be converted to a DisplayObject in the variable inspector.

local mytable = {};  
setmetatable(mytable, {\_\_index = function(t,key) return "xxx" end});

Set a breakpoint on line 2 and start debug session, open the variable inspector. mytable is a table as expected.
Step over the next line and mytable will become a DisplayObject. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 35338 reply_id: 335338[/import]

@ingemar,

Thanks for letting us know about this. We were able to replicate the issue and will work on a fix once we get 1.8 released. We will focus our attention to making the debugger more powerful after 1.8 and this is one of the bugs that will be addressed.
