Description Simon Bernard CLA 2012-09-03 09:10:04 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #379980 +++

Build Identifier: 

When you edit strings with debugger, any backslash inside it is escaped twice. It means that string "a\\b" will be displayed as "a\\b" (one escape) but will be converted to "a\\\\b" when you try to edit it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a a script with backslashes in a string:
myvar = "foo\\bar"
print(myvar)

2. Start debugging this file
3. Try to edit myvar, you will get "foo\\\\bar"
