Description
When using mobx v3, the popover that shows object diff shows the property name (isLoading) correctly as below:

When upgrading to mobx v5 is show the class name followed by a number (ArticlesStore@9) instead of the property name

Is this a know bug in devtools?
Or is a problem with mobx v5?
What code i can look for it?
The Popover code is here but i could not find where this.props.path value is defined
This is the original code where i found this behavior and the diff upgrading mobx to v5

Research direction
Start in src/frontend/TabChanges/LObjDiff.jsx at the referenced use of this.props.path, then compare it with the MobX v3 and v5 behavior shown in the linked example and upgrade commit. Trace where the path is defined and confirm that the diff popover displays the observable property name rather than the MobX class name and number.
