I've never been willing to totally rely on hovering the mouse over any variable. Sometimes I get what I expect, sometimes I don't, so I often go to Shift+F9, which wasn't mentioned. The other techniques mentioned were adding a watch variable and using the Immediate window. I never do the latter, so I have no comment on it, and as to the former, there are too many ways that the error message could be totally correct, so I can't say anything about that. Static variables would reasonably not be in scope in lots of places where you might think you could access them.
The report provides specific instructions to reproduce the issue though. Did you follow those instructions? The variable IS in scope where those instructions specify to check.
