Description esmithbss 2010-06-07 05:46:35 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 6.9 RC2 (Build 201005312001)
Operating System = Linux version 2.6.32-22-generic running on i386
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.3-b01

When debugging a Ruby on Rails application, if the application changes a value, the new value and old value are shown in the Variables list; however, they are not shown as if they are a "this value has been changed to that value" or "Old Value/New Value", but instead are shown as two separate and distinct values.

See Screenshot (taken after a line which changed value of column from nil to 'clubs.name')

I believe this is actually a refresh issue in the Variables list.  If you undock the variables list, then open it for viewing, the second "column" field is no longer in the list.
