Synopsis: Check violation while debugging
Description
I was debugging a system in which SPECIAL code handling by the compiler or the library where changed. Looks like I was having a bug in my code which is ok. Then I tried to resize the Objects tool as well as the watch tool. While doing so, I got this check violation in the code of EiffelStudio. I believe that resizing caused some cells previously invisible to show up and this triggered a computation of the content and that causes the failure.
To Reproduce
I don't know. It is most likely due to my changes I made to SPECIAL.

Well .. this means the truncated_string_representation was Void (which could maybe occur). And maybe offset > 0 ... is kind of wrong, since the offset could be 0 but ... all that are supposition. If I could reproduce,this would be better.
After ignoring the failure (thanks Ctrl+F6) the content of the objects and watch tool appeared correctly. Maybe the check is too strong?
