Hi Chipp,

No it desn't, but I may have come up with a recipe to
fix this as well -- haven't done much testing though,
so be careful with it :

- first backup the stack :
    \global environment\revvariablewatcher.rev

- then use the message box to execute
    edit the script of card id 1002 of stack
"revVariableWatcher"

- scroll to the handler "revUpdatePalette"
    on revUpdatePalette pPass

- there you will see a block of the script to handle
the fetching of variable names in an executioncontext

    set the debugContext to line it of the cContexts
of btn "Execution Contexts"
    debugdo "put the variableNames into fld " && quote
& "tvnames" & quote
    replace "@" with empty in fld "tvnames"
    replace cr with comma in fld "tvnames"
    replace ",," with "," in fld "tvnames"
    put word 1 to -1 of fld "tvnames" into fld
"tvnames"
    if last char of fld "tvnames" is comma then delete
last char of fld "tvnames"
    if last item of fld "tvnames" is empty then delete
last item of fld "tvnames"
    sort items of fld "tvnames"
    put empty into field "Names"
    put empty into field "Values"
    put 1 into field "tcline"

- now you make a small patch, just after the line
    sort items of fld "tvnames"
  you place
    --PATCH
    if char 1 of fld "tvnames" is comma then delete
char 1 of fld "tvnames"
    --PATCH

- the second you apply the script change, you can see
it working correctly ; oh, and make sure to save the
stack "revVariableWatcher" when Rev asks you to.

Hope this helps the adventurous among us,

Jan Schenkel.
