If a line has ?&name (global variable) dummy string substitutions, the original line, prior to substitution of global variable values, is displayed in the pop up that is shown when you select Line Information.

For example, a line you suspect has a dummy string substitution is displayed in the Source Code page as:

print 'Hello'

If you select Line Information after right clicking a line with substitutions, you see a display like:

dummyDetails78

To watch the value of a dummy string global variable, you must specify it explicitly with a "g." prefix (omitting the ?& characters) and add it to the Watch Window.
