All my column names start with an underscore (eg _Date) whilst trying to debug a script in EDBManager the underscore "vanishes" from the point in the script where the colour has changed to indicate an error. Its still there (eg "_Score") but I just can't see it.

It could be putting comments round lines because that also does it, may not be anything to do with bombing but that's what caused me to notice it.

Where is the debbuger in 2.01 build 5?

It might be in there with the script / sql page but in this case I was simply meaning running a script, waiting for it to bomb and then trying to figure it out.

I know a debugger is coming but I don't remember (could be old age) an announcement about it and EDBManager doesn't yet have its own OLH (than again I have been know to exhibit blindness)

Oh, I was looking for it in procedures/functions!
I've not seen the debugger in 2.01 b5 Improvements. This kind of good
thing would be more announced, I guess.

This is for Tim: Thanks for adding the debugger. Would be nice have it
in procedures/functions. (Of course, I can extract code into an script
(declaring input parameters as fixed code vars) and debug there)

I'm not sure what I can do about this due the fact that it is an artifact
from the way that the highlighting works.  One alternative may be to put a
breakpoint on the line (click in the gutter) and then view the value in the
Local Variables window (Ctrl-Alt-L).

It's in the script execution.

It's not scheduled until 2.02, which is why it wasn't mentioned.  What
you're seeing is basically a "preview".

Procedures/functions and Step Into functionality will be coming later, along
with more detailed items like watches, expression evaluation, conditional
breakpoints, and viewing the details of more complex types like cursors (row
data).

OK, I'm not to concerned - at first I thought - HA! I've found the bug in my script when I spotted a space where no space should be Now I know I'll just swear at it.

Weird though isn't it. Are there any other disappearing characters you know of?

Great! These are very good news.

It's not disappearing, it's just that a highlighted line uses a white on
<color> scheme that makes it slightly hard to make out the underline.  But,
it's definitely visible.
