@bux578, I cannot replicate this in current master, which is good. I'll try 3.4.2 next

Well, the problem is that EFUNC(common,setVariablePublic) is broken in 3.4.2. Hence the scope adjustments were not propagating properly between clients. However, it was fixed when #3082 was merged.

Hence, this is working properly on current master and will be fixed on 3.5.0.

PD: While diagnosing this my main PC died; I'll try my best to finish what's left for 3.5.0 but I cannot guarantee I'll be able too.
