1) Create the class included below.
2) Place a breakpoint as described in the comments of the code.
3) Run in the debugger.

public class _Scrapbook {

public static void main(String[] args) {
	_Scrapbook app = new _Scrapbook();
	app.doit();
}
void doit() {
	Object object = this; // put breakpoint here !!!
	do {
		System.out.println("asdads"+object);
		object.toString();
	} while (false);
}
}

The line "Object object = this;" assigns to the variable 'object' but then when 
you step into the do loop, the variable does not appear in the Variables view.  
When you step over the println statement, then 'object' appears in the 
Variables view.

I asked Olivier to investigate and he said the ranges returned are valid.
