Covariance matrices not shown in Raw Messages Panel (/sensor_msgs/msgs/imu)

[OdinsEntropy]

Hi,

i am currently checking my raw imu data and saw, that the covariance are not shown anymore (I think it worked in earlier versions). As one can see on the screenshot, I get covariances on a raw output in the terminal (ros2 topic echo /myimutopic) but not in the Raw Messages window. Is there a setting I am missing?
Checking individual datapoints in an Plot Panel shows the value of e.g. covariance[0] value.

• Version: 1.23.1
• Platform: ubuntu 22.04
• Data source (e.g. bag file, mcap file, rosbridge, ROS 1/2 native): ROS2 Native via foxglove bridge

Steps To Reproduce

• Start foxglovebridge
• Start topic echoing for default sensor IMU Topic with covariance like:

ros2 topic pub /imu_data sensor_msgs/msg/Imu "{
  header: {frame_id: imu_link},
  orientation: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0, w: 1.0},
  orientation_covariance: [1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
                           0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
                           0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
  angular_velocity: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0},
  angular_velocity_covariance: [1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
                                0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
                                0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
  linear_acceleration: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0},
  linear_acceleration_covariance: [1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
                                   0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
                                   0.0, 0.0, 1.0]
}"

• Check raw message panel for covariance values

Expected Behavior

It should show the covariance values.

Looks like it is more then just covariances. Maybe all Array like types?

Hey @OdinsEntropy thanks for reaching out! We're going to investigate the issue and let you know when we know more about this! In the meantime would it be possible for you lend us some file with covariance messages?
Cheers,
