Am I just missing something, or do most errors in BlitzMax not reference what line the error was on? I keep getting "Compile Error, Expression must be variable" but no line number as to where this error is occuring.

For me it jumps to the line, ie. sets the cursor at the line. Very convinient. Remember to have debug build turned on.

For me, it usually does that too. Didn't we used to get a stacktrace in the console window aswell?

Hmm, convenient, but I usually have to press a couple of keys to make the line in question more obvious to see...a tiny cursor doesn't exactly draw your attention to it

Press SHIFT and downarrow to highlight the error line

Thanks for the tip. Although I would expect any modern compiler to highlight the line for you, and perhaps even highlight the problem specifically within the line (if possible).

Now if only there was a way to change the selection color - it is very hard to see on a blueish background.
