Reproduce the local-variable display problem in Dirac using the issue's Chrome and Dirac versions, with attention to the right-side list and the popup shown when selecting a local. Trace the debugger's local-name and value display path; done when each listed local is paired with its correct name and value.

Description

bug upstream

Hi,

In the attached screenshot, you can see that the local "nodeleaf-id" is shown several times in the list at the right side. Only one of those instance is correct (the one having value 538) -- the other values correspond to other locals (e.g., :node-types/tree corresponds to local "rep-tree|fold?" and value null corresponds to "has-children?"). When I select the text of the local at the left side, the current value is correctly displayed in the popup window that appears.

Using Chrome 57.0.2984.0, Dirac 1.0.0, and I tried to start with a fresh Chrome folder with no extensions installed other than Dirac.
