1. Create the following cu:
public class X {
	void foo(String[] array, String s) {
		System.out.println(array + s);
	}
	void bar() {
		foo( // breakpoint here
			new String[] {},
			"");
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new X().bar();
	}
}
2. Add a breakpoint where indicated
3. Debug
4. When the breakpoint is hit, step into (F5) 3 times
Observe: On the third "step into", the method foo is entered, but it was the
argument "" that was highlighted.

If you change the test case as follows (just adding 'this' as the receiver):
public class X {
	void foo(String[] array, String s) {
		System.out.println(array + s);
	}
	void bar() {
		this.foo( // breakpoint here
			new String[] {},
			"");
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new X().bar();
	}
}
then foo is entered only on the 4th step (as expected).
