No idea. However, the "regular" debugger does not have that issue:
Robert@babelfish ~
$ ruby19 -r debug x.rb
Debug.rb
Emacs support available.
x.rb:1:a = 'aaa'
(rdb:1) l
[-4, 5] in x.rb
=> 1 a = 'aaa'
2 b = 'bbb'
3 # breakpoint
4 c = 'ccc'
(rdb:1) b 4
Set breakpoint 1 at x.rb:4
(rdb:1) v l
a => nil
b => nil
c => nil
(rdb:1) c
Breakpoint 1, toplevel at x.rb:4
x.rb:4:c = 'ccc'
(rdb:1) v l
a => "aaa"
b => "bbb"
c => nil
(rdb:1) n
Robert@babelfish ~
$
Note: "v l" lists local variables.
Kind regards
robert
