Variables seem to no longer work on OVERVIEW Page (Worked prior to OH 5.2.0.M1

[Mark-VG]

The problem

Prior to OH 5.2.0.M1 I used variables to determin teh visibility of componets on my widgets.

After installing the Milestone this functionality stopped working and the visibility seemed to be always false

The functionality still seems to work on other pages as well as the Overview in "run" mode.

After posting in the community it was suggested to create a limited widget to demonstrate the issue.

Similar issue was resolved in the past: #2046

The following widget code demonstrates the issue when used on the Overview Page:

  title: ="Test Visibility " + vars.visibleMonthlyPop
