Same preview for content of variables when debugging

When Debugging a Programm, the user can inspect the variables in the Variables- and in the Montiors-View.
In both views there are 2 previews for variables, one which is always visible and one which Shows the Content of the selected variable.
Currently the shown preview value differs if e.g. a char-variable only contains '00'x. The value column of the VariablesView shows an empty string, whereas the preview for the selected variable Shows undefined chars, which we think would be the correct representation.
So it would be very useful to have the same representation for both previews, this also applies to the MonitorsView.
