please refer to the attached screenshot:

The type of the datastructure is declared as:

typedef union tagMR_TXBufType
{
  struct
  {
    uint8_t busAdr;                      
    uint8_t functionCode;                 
    uint8_t byteBuffer[MR_TXBufSize-2];    // MR_TXBufSize is 256
  } s;

  uint8_t a[MR_TXBufSize];

} MR_TXBufType;

viewing array a the contents is displayed correctly, looking at the structure s the array byteBuffer causes an error
never saw this with Red Suite 4 !

good to hear to get a fix soon.

the bug can be partly avoided by entering

varName.s

instead of varName, then the array in the struct will be displayed correctly, but of course varName.a is not visible.

I work with two expressions for the same variable as a workaround:

varName.s
varName.a

Hi

Thanks for the report. We can reproduce and are testing a fix.
