Unexpected Local Variable behaviour in Class Procedures

[kristoffermads]

Classes own variables are "local" to the class, but procedures inside the class share local variables with each other and the global space.

The reason why is logical when explained, but illogical in the context of classes where a seemingly "global" parameter defined with the class, is unique to the object, but variables defined just below in a procedure, isn't. Example:

var // global definitions
    x,y:byte 
    Person_Draw_y_precalc:integer; 

var
	Person = class // we now enter "Class space"
		x,y:byte;   // Unique and allowed - not already defined

 		procedure DrawSmall();
 		var
	        	Person_Draw_y_precalc:integer; // compile error - already defined
 		begin

This can probably be solved by turning on local variables in the settings.

Suggestion: turn local variables ON by default in classes - or turn it on by default in entire TRSE. After all if global variables are / wanted needed - the coder can just remove the ones in question from the procedures local variable definition - or move them "out" of the procedure definition - and they would be global.
