INPUT FILE: (XML)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kala>
<havi>5</havi>
<kilu>3</kilu>
</kala>

The converter XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8"/>


<xsl:variable name="nr_kala" select="/kala/havi"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
<Result>
<xsl:value-of select="$nr_kala"/>
</Result>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

===
The StylusStudio X15 with Saxon 9.5.1.8 gives the correct result as:
OUTPUT FILE:
<Result>5</Result>

The StylusStudio X16 with Saxon 9.7.0.3 gives an error message:
----

Is there some bug or incompatibility between older and newer releases of the Saxon?
How to fix it?

Margus we have isolated the problem in the new Saxon 9.7.

When a TraceListener is register Saxon evaluates global variables before wiring the XML input.

We are working with Saxonica to find a solution.

Thanks for for the reporting the error and providing a useful test case

The most recent Saxon maintenance release (9.7.0.5) solves the problem.

We will update Saxon in our next update.
