Telnet debugger spins endlessly with certain variable types #265

Originally from this slack conversation.

I started testing and the first time I had an issue with the statement numItems = palette.count() Both variables are Dynamic with numItems being integer data and palette being roArray data. Not much you can do with that Local circle spinning so I clicked the square to stop the debugger. I noticed a flash of something in the variables area so I did it again and recorded the screen. I saw that for a microsecond, in the Local variables section the message numitems = canceled. Note the case difference with the "L". I tried again and just ran through that section and was stepping through a different function. Local circle appeared again, and the message afterwards was d = canceled. This was strange because the variable d was not part of the current executing statement. It is used somewhere else and is a counter (int). The third time I tried it, the message was vscodeloopkey = canceled, which isn't one of my variables. Hope this is useful. I can reproduce this at will, let me know if I can help further.
