if I have a function

  def foo(bar)
     bar = 5
     return
  end

and breakpoint on the return line

when it hits this breakpoint I can hover the cursor over bar in the bar=5 line and see it's value.

But hovering over bar in the argument list just shows it's a local variable.

Is it possible to change this behaviour (so the value is shown when hovering on a variable in the argument list)

On long functions I often want to see the values of a parameter that's been passed in and either have to locate a reference later in the function or right-click and Quickwatch on the arg - both of which are more time-consuming.

Yes, that looks pretty straightforward to do - I'll add it to the next bug fix release.
