It seems that changing between workspaces and going back to the previous one prevent global variables from being resolved.
Step to reproduce:
Create 2 workspaces with a request in both
On one of the workspace use a global variable in the URL to define the host name.
Send the request (the one with the global variable) to make sure it works.
Switch to the second workspace. Run the other request.
Go back to the previous workspace. Run again the first request (the one with the global variable)
You’ll see that the global variable is no longer resolved (even if mouse over the variable in the URL still show the resolved value)
Resetting the global variables fix the problem.
I would like to post a video of it but the forum don’t allow new users to do it
