Global scope variables without $-sign don't show up in the Local Variables window. Repro: In a Rails 1.2.x app, set a breakpoint on unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT) in file config/boot.rb. On the first break, single-step past root_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') The root_path will not be in the Local Variables window.
Will try to find the culprit until 6.1 as we talked about personally. So far only reproducible in Rails under specific circumstances described here. If you would also reproduce this on some simple case, let me know, thanks.
