A big problem with Live Expression (values shifted down)

I have a problem with CubeIde (version independent tried on both 1.13 and 1.16)

the problem is that in live expression I am using a struct to combine each task in single struct for debugging purpose
the values of the variables all shifted down
example:
var1: 0
var2: value of var1
var3: value of var2
char arr[100]: [value of var3
value of arr[0]
etc]

I am using threadx, the problem doesnot exist when working on UBUNTU while in windows is happening all time.
the other thread values are correct, it happen only on the second thread.

screenshot of the problem

where as you can see firstrun should be 1 and firstZDAGps is also 1 so we have everthing is shifted down.

Hello @Alaa_Alnasef96 ,

Further to your comment, I recommend that you set the variable format on Live Expression by clicking on Number Format.

Thanks.

It's been a year and the described shift problem still persists.

I'm working on STM32CubeIDE v1.19.0.

I have an array of structures:

typedef struct sdcs_struct
{
 uint8_t slotNumber;
 uint8_t pwrPin;
 uint8_t csPin;
 uint8_t sensorIndex;
 uint8_t maxSenIndex;
 uint16_t bitmapIndex;
 uint16_t aiTx_u16;
 uint16_t aiRx_u16;
 char oenCode[6+1];
} sdcs_t;

sdcs_t snsrGas_a[3];
sdcs_t *pSnsrGas;

In the "Expressions" window it is displayed correctly.
But in the "Live Expressions" window the items are shifted by 1 byte.

What's more. Look at the addresses in the "Live Expressions" window for the pSnsrGas pointer. They don't make any sense at all.

Correctly displayed content in "Expressions" window
(order: pSnsrGas, snsrGas_a[0], snsrGas_a[1], snsrGas_a[2])
