    Angry Confirmed!

    I had the same problem just over a week ago. I had quite a few objects stored in a collection only when I was testing it, the watch window always showed a max of 256. Spent ages trying to track a non-existent bug before I realised what was happening!

    Angry You mean...

    You mean the limit of 256 only applies to the watch window??

    Jesus, I've been wasting hours and hours on this. Now that's what I call useful info.

    I know the feeling!!
    And yes, the 256 limit only applies to the watch window. Not sure off the top of my head what (or if) the maximum for a collection is, but the one I was working with had just under 10000 objects stored in it! (took bloody ages to unload )
