I have the feeling this problem only occurs when you do *not* re-enter 
the same function again.

So,

1. enter function a() in file x
2. show variable "z" in watch window (variable "z" is global in file x)
3. leave function a() in file x and enter function b() in file y => 
variable "z" is greyed out in watch window
4. leave function b() in file y and re-enter function a() in file x 
again => variable "z" becomes active again
5. leave function a() in file x and enter function b() in file y => 
variable "z" is greyed out in watch window
6. leave function b() in file y and enter function c() in file x => 
variable "z" is still greyed out, while it's again in scope since we're 
entering file x again, however within another function of file x.

I would expect in step 6. to see the variable "z" again activated, since 
it comes into scope again...
