Live Console Question

I'm testing out the live console functionality and what I expect is somewhat what you get from the Chrome dev tools (F12).  Where I can type a variable name and see the contents, or even console.log a variable and see it.  Is this how it's supposed to work or am I just missing something.

I have an app, that I hit a breakpoint on.  I have a test variable that I'm trying to output in the console window.  The variable does in fact have a value as displayed in the debugger window, but I can't get that same variable to display it's contents in the console window.  Here's a couple screenshots of what I mean.
