no such object in step by step debugger

Hello,
I was away from Revolution for a while (to many other things to do)
but now I'm just retired (yes!!!) and at least I have time to work a
bit more on some applications I planned to do... and I discovered a
strange thing with the new debugger.
Forgive me if it is known already (but in this case answer
nevertheless directly, many thank, I was unable to find something
about this problem on the list).
I have a stack's custom property called CurrentField, containing the
short name of a field. In the stack script I have something like:
put the currentField of me into theField
put word 2 of theField into numvar
-- here some stuff with numvar
put field theField into thevar
-- here some stuff with the content of the field (thevar)
Well. If I put a breakpoint on the last line of this script,
everything is OK, numvar and thevar both contain what I want. BUT if I
put my breakpoint on the first line, and progress step by step, I get
an error "chunk: no such object" at the "put field theField" line.
If I change my mind and put the long name of the field in the
currentfield, everything is OK, but it is just boring and more heavy
to parse to get my information back.
The same problem seems to occur with any objects designed by their
short name. The defaultStack is the good one (mine). I got this
problem with Revolution 3 on a Mac Intel with OS X 10.5.5
I think it's not a fair behaviour for a debugger, but perhaps it is
not orthodoxal to invoke objects by their short name...
Thank you for advice
Jacques
