I found one of these being triggered by the same variable being declared global a few lines apart. Yes, that's wrong--but this is in my main script, in a major routine. It's been there for at least several months, and probably over a year. And then a half dozen more similar double declarations that weren't throwing errors, all in long-established routines. So this may be more than one bug that gives the same incorrect error message. Or a bug giving the message, and another circumstance in which the bug *is* giving that message. -- Dr. Richard E.

You're probably right, can't remember the exact details.

Re: shadow declarations bug back?
FWIW I think the repro case is a little tighter than that: I think it's when execution is stopped from the debugger, *with the variable inspection pane selected*. I won't swear to it...

I think it was established that the bug occurs when execution is stopped by clicking the blue square icon to stop execution during a debug run. Don't know if the underlying cause of that has been fixed but I try to remember to let debug runs continue to the end these days and have not experienced the problem since.

Re: shadow declarations bug back?
I haven't seen the shadowed variable bug for a long time. I think it was established that the bug occurs when execution is stopped by clicking the blue square icon to stop execution during a debug run. Don't know if the underlying cause of that has been fixed but I try to remember to let debug runs continue to the end these days and have not experienced the problem since.

shadow declarations bug back?
The once common shadow-declaration bug seems to have largely gone away; I realized that I hadn't seen it in some time. It seems to have appeared again in 7.1.2_rc1 & rc2; are other people seeing it again? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
