Not sure if itâs related to your issue but Iâve been seeing swapped temporary variables in the debugger. The value used for execution is correct but in the view two variables will have the value of the other. Are you sure that the value *effectively* changes or could it be a visualization problem?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but there seems some strange behavior that I don't understand. The value of a block variable changes when stepping over a method that acts on that variable. I encountered this in Spec, but that seems co-incidental to the behaviour. SETUP 1. The attached "My-Spec-Tutorial-BenComan.1.mcz" (i.e. Bahman's tutorial) was loaded into build #30564.
2. A breakpoint was inserted after the first "e generateArguments" in... SpecRowLayout>>privateAsArray | result shouldCheckSplitters | result := OrderedCollection new. shouldCheckSplitters := false. (self commands reject: [:e | e isSplitter ]) do: [:e | ...lots..hidden.for..conciseness.... e generateArguments. self haltOnce. "<------------------" e asSpecElements do: [:el | result add: el ]].
3. The following was evaluated... Halt enableHaltOnce. MyFirstWindow new openWithSpec: #defaultSpec.
OBSERVATION 1. When the debugger opened at the breakpoint e = a SpecLayoutAdd
2. But after stepping over #asSpecElements e = an OrderedCollection()
So how did the value of 'e' change?
Where... SpecLayoutAdd(SpecLayoutSend)>>asSpecElements ^ {self selector.}, self arguments
SpecLayoutAdd(SpecLayoutSend)>>selector ^ selector
SpecLayoutAdd(SpecLayoutSend)>>arguments ^ arguments
This was on Windows 7. Since files.pharo.org is offline, I wasn't able to try a newer VM. My current was...
