We've upgraded from 6.1.2 directly to 6.1.6.
Now I noticed that the display of entities in the debugger has changed.
in 6.1.2 if you hovered the mouse over an entity variable, the tool-tip (or whatever you want to call the popup display that shows) would display the entity type the value of all the fields making up the primary key.

Now, with 6.1.6, the tool-tip displays only the entity type. 
Why was that changed?  To me it seems like a step backwards.
How can I restore the previous behavior, which I find most useful? 

Tx,

Hi Steve,

In http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/613-release-notes - 6.1.3 , significant changes to DevForce entities were made in order to officially support Code First. These changes more than likely triggered the change in debugger behavior you're seeing. Unfortunately, you can't restore the previous behavior without rolling back to 6.1.2 or earlier.

I will open a feature request for this.
