What happened?

I couldn’t determine exactly why it works in one place and not in another. When calling $pager->links(), my parameters set inside the template disappear. I added a “title”, but it disappears after the Pager. If you install it in the controller, everything is fine. BUT elsewhere, setting variables in the template works fine (even with Pager)

Steps to Reproduce

<?php
// init $model->paginate() in Controller
$this->setVar('title', 'New title');

echo $this->extend('_layout/backend');
?>

<?= $this->section('content') ?>
    <table class="table text-center">
        ...
    </table>
    <?php dd($this, 'first') ?>

    <?= $pager->links('default'); ?>

    <?php dd($this, 'second') ?>
<?= $this->endSection() ?>

In first dump N variables, in second N-1 vars (unset “title”)

Expected Output

I looked into the system Pager file. It calls $this->view->setVar(‘pager’, $pager)->render(…) Probably this call interrupts the previous template code?

Anything else?
