there's nothing wrong with the behaviour you are experiencing.
the thing is: you shouldn't click directly on the message-box containing 
the $args, but rather click on the message-box above it.
the $1 and $2 will be "magically" replaced by 45, resp. 67, which is 
what the example is trying to show you.
dreictly clicking on the message-box will not provide any arguments to 
replace the $args, this is why you get the error-message.
