Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by Marcin.Koperski on 3 Feb 2011

Incorrect presentation arguments for method ':For' using multiple variables.
After reload data are put in single row which makes reading data impossible.

Ride change presentation of variables, even when in file data are stored correctly (INFO.TXT) contains source to TC.

Tested on RIDE 0.32.1

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in RIDE 0.32.1 using a :For loop with multiple variables, then reload the test data and compare the displayed rows with the source recorded in INFO.TXT. Trace the reload and presentation handling for these loop arguments; done means the variables appear in separate rows while the stored test data remains correct.
