Hi, it is not only the variable content, but more the name. Please note this picture.
With standard configs you cannot see anything. At least an information on mouse-over which variable names these "..." points are, would be great.
Answering you question, eg. the last "..." denotes the second part of a pair, consisting of two vectors. But as you can see, by default you see nothing ;)
You can resize the columns to see more of the variables by simply dragging the small handle between them. Having tooltips should be as easy as setting a tooltip role on the items. As far as the value goes, for that somebody needs to write a python script for gdb that knows how the datatypes are implemented and tells gdb how they can be printed.

Version: 4.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux On debugging for two long variable news/values I get "{...}" or "..." displayed. It would be nice if I could get the content of these fields simply by a mouse over. (like title tags in HTML). Otherwise I need to adjust the column widths before getting any information.
