[Pharo-dev] In Debugger: block variables nil

April 3, 2015

      Hi:

While debugging the beautiful method below, I noticed that the debugger shows data1 to be `nil`, while it actually has a proper value. That is, the pane on the right bottom shows the wrong value.
When inspecting `data1` within the source code pane, it is correctly shown in the inspector.

Is this a known issue? Should I file a bug?

Best regards
Stefan
