Name shadows another variable error

[Ralph DiMola]

I too see it happening with other than globals. I don't have a recipe but
locals in/out of a specific hander in the same tab can also cause this. When
and where? Can't nail that one down yet. I thought that my reproducible
recipe might point to an ah-ha light bulb moment. One can only wish.....

Note: I have never seen this across object scripts. It's always in just one
tab (for me anyway).

Glad we're starting to home in on this longstanding issue.

Seems that Malte's recipe reproduces the problem but I see it happening in
different circumstances, not involving globals.

In my case,  a variable with the same name is defined in one or more
handlers in the scripts of several different objects,  all of which are open
in the script editor. Most of the time,  this doesn't cause a problem but
then an apply on one of the scripts suddenly throws the error.

Monte - maybe your fix handles that too?
