Description Pawel Piech CLA 2012-04-27 01:06:00 EDT 
The debug context API allows adding a debug context provider without an associated view.  This provider then becomes a default provider when no view with debug context provider is active.  

The support for this kind of provider got broken when we added support for multiple instances of variables views.
