Re: No variables "visible" while in subroutine

I see this on the Locals view on 7.6 all the time.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] No variables "visible" while in subroutine

This may have been the "way it is" forever and I just don't use subroutines enough to have noticed but ...

Student noticed today that when they were in a subroutine all of the variables in the view disappeared, replaced by a message to the effect that no variables were defined at this level. In other words much what you'd see in a subproc with no variables defined. By clicking on the PEP entry in the call stack they could see and modify the variables, but not without taking action and not if the _actual_ call stack entry was highlighted.

Is this rather odd behaviour new or ... ??
