What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Declare global variable 2. Declare function with local variable that have same name as global variable 3. Assign value to this variable 4. Try to watch its value in "Watch" window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? FireBug will display value of global variable with same name But I expected to see value of local variable

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? FireBug v1.05, WindowsXP Pro

Please provide any additional information below.

<script type="text/javascript" > i= 7; function test() { var i; i= 5; i=i; //Here in "watch" window you will see i=7 instead of i=5 }

test(); </scirpt>

Addition: the tooltip on the local variable shows the value of the global variable.

Side note: the problem also occurs if the function have a parameter with the same name as a global variable.

I accidentally figured out how to get values of the local scope, jsdIStackFrame has a property "scope" which is the scope of the top (inner most) stack frame.

Looks fixed in branches/firebug1.2. Should be tested on firebug1.2b4.
