submenu fails to see variables

[Olaf Hering]

For some reason global variables are not seen in a submenu {} section.
Does anyone happen to know why this behavior is useful?

Pseudocode:

set var=val
menuentry "me" {
 set
 echo "var ${var}"
 sleep 3
}

submenu "sm" {
 set
 echo "var ${var}"
 sleep 3
}

Seen with grub 2.02 and 2.04.


Thanks,
Olaf
