Eclipse debugging: Variable names are not showing, but values are showing

Question

I didn't remember how I get to this stage, but now when I open my debugging perspective, the Variables view will not show "Name", it only shows "Value". I've tried resetting the perspective, but it didn't work.

My Eclipse (Java) version is Mars 4.5.0; I am running it on Ubuntu 14.04

Below is the situation:

Help?

I just found a way to make the Name column visible.

Click on the upside down triangle button at the upper right corner -> Layout -> Select Columns...

Check the box of Name column. This would make your Name column visible.

I already have the 'Name' selected, but when I deselect all, the variable name showed up. This solved my problem.

In my case it was also selected. Deselecting and clicking "OK", followed by opening the dialog again, selecting and clicking "OK" worked.

I think you might've dragged the "Value" column all the way to the left, hiding the "Name" column by accident. Try having your mouse pointed at the left-edge of the "Value" column and drag it to the right again.

This is an intuitive thinking. I tried, but not work...I will only be able to drag the bar between Debug and Variable

It's the difference between a few pixels. If you go a little too far to the left, it it'll drag the entire perspective. When I purposely dragged my "Value" column all the way to the left, it looked exactly like yours. I had to try it a couple times to figure it out.

But if that's not the case, I'll keep looking into it.

Try moving your mouse to the point where it'll be dragging the Perspectives. But slowly move towards the right until the mouse changes from "<->" to a pointer. And keep shifting to the right until it changes again to "<->".

Thank you very much. Yet I haven't been able to succeed. I will try a couple more times
