Hi,
Yes, unfortunately, we are aware of a debugger bug in which bitfields don't
appear correctly in the debugger. Unfortunately, this bug won't be fixed in
time for R6 (the fix broke something else and we thought it'd be better to
back it out) but we'll try to get this patched.
Metrowerks apologizes for this inconvenience.
Rgds,
