2017R1 - code-editor linenumbering

When I toggle on linenumbering, I don’t see a blinking cursor anymore.
For normal behavior and happy coding, linenumbering needs to be switched off.

how to make use of line numbering for runtime error??

I was hoping line numbering would be there for build scripts too - save counting lines when debugging. Can’t see it though.

Can confirm this.
Did you already created a FC?

Just click anywhere in the code editor and the blinking cursor is back.

Unfortunately not. Sorry, tried on Win10.

Also other similar requests on there since 2008…

You’re right. I’m also seeing it on Windows 8.1.

I occasionally experience this now in 2016R4. I noticed saving the project will restore the cursor. Maybe try that… If anything if it does work it might point them in the right to track down the cause.

Everyone is seeing this on Windows only - correct ?
It has completely different cursor handling than OS or Linux

Yep! It works as expected on Mac OS.

When I toggle on linenumbering, I can’t collapse code any longer. This is on macOS 10.12.4.

I am also seeing this in Windows 7 x64.

Seems like no one tested this version in Windows before release.

I never saw this in my testing and it went unreported in the alphas & betas (its been there since about alpha 40 in late Feb 2017)

There’s a bug report now so I’ll look into it

This should be reported separately

Also if code is already collapsed before line numbering is turned on, the line numbers overlap on the collapsed lines.

Did you report this one ?

Please, excuse my question:

I do not saw an entry in the Release Notes for this new feature.

I do not understand the useful of this feature.

Care to explain, someone ?

Neither did I, and had someone told me before the release I wouldn’t have just had to file four reports :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s a standard feature for code editors. Errors are sometimes reported (other languages, olden days) by line number, so having them always displayed is a useful feature. For me, it’s also a transition / comfort thing in Xojo.

However, it will be way easier to help people through minor code changes now, “Yes, just change line 42 to include the towel object.”
