I’m working on an old project that was migrated from Java to Kotlin. Breakpoints work fine, it stops at the right spot but when I hover over a variable, sometimes it takes forever to load the value. Sometimes it doesn’t even load at all, and I end up falling back to using Logcat just to get the values

Is this normal with Android Studio debugging, or am I missing a setting/optimization?
