Bug on showing watch content

From looking at watches-window it looks as if writing happens to wrong location, but debugger log shows that all is ok.

It could be possible, that a " as last character of a string may confuse the parser.

I have a screenshot, but don't know how to attach it.

Tested under debian with gdb 7.01 and 7.4 and code::blocks svn 8150

Test code please, also we need a step by step instruction to reproduce this bug.

About the screen shot, there are many image sharing sites.

Ok, find the screenshot at http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/dbgerror01.png

I'm afraid, I can't give you step by step instructions and the code does not make any sense too, as the application scans files from harddisk and this happens with a directory, that contains a " in the name as in >Original Hits: 80s 12"<

the rest of the code is pretty standard directory processing.

I checked the code with valgrind and dumped all found files later - there's no problem with the directory containing the " - all files are listed and the files can be accessed.

Only the debugging output gets scrambled.
