In the workspace pane, I can click on variables, which gives me insight into the content. However, content is never shown fully, only partially. In the REPL, I can do `show(myVariable)` which prints the full content. Is there no such function in the workspace? I just see three dots, but clicking on them does not work.

Also, is there some way to copy text from the workspace pane?

Thank you.

There currently is no way to expand variables in the workspace beyond what’s shown by default. Copy from the workspace did work at some point, I think, but seems to have broken recently.
