I figured out some of the issue is that apparently I can't see variables in the parent procedure from a nested child procedure. At least not completely all of the time. Is this a known limitation?

I've noticed recently that I can actually use the debugger. I think
this is mostly due to an upgrade in my Linux install. Anyhow I find
that for most symbols in a procedure I can't view their data in the
"watch list" or the "evaluation" box. It seems that the only thing
that I can view is symbols declared specifically in the function I'm
running. Globals and other members of the class I'm working on return
a 'no symbol "..." in current context' error. Some variables defined
in the current procedure may not work, like objects or strings. My
enums usually display erroneous values.
What is the best way to improve what I'm able to see? Are some of
these things simply not supported? I've already.

PS: My *many thanks and extreme gratitude* to the individual who fixed
the "segfault" in the TDBGrid!!
