While debugging a class like the following:

class Scratch {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    final String hi = new String("hi");
    new Object() {
      public void foo() {
        System.out.println(hi); // BREAKPOINT
      }
    }.foo();
  }
}

If you stop on the line marked BREAKPOINT, i.e. your stack frame is Scratch$1.foo(), you can't mouseover the "hi" variable, and you can't perform evaluations on inspections on or including it directly.  It is visible in the Variables view under "this".

The hover just gets you the type. ("String hi - Main.main(String[])").

Evaluating (ctrl+shift+d ctrl+shift+i ctrl+shift+u) claim "Error Evaulating: hi cannot be resolved to a variable".


(note: new String() is required to make hi not a 15.28 constant, which does work)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the above class in an editor.
2. Breakpoint the indicated line.
3. Debug.
4. Attempt to get information about the hi local variable.
