IDE possible bug (please test before bug report)

[Zebuddi123]

Hi to all

Code: Select all

; {
; { 

line 1. ( semicolon space brace cr+lf ) causes the compiler to spit out a syntax error. This was taken for the clipboard via copy Google translate. looking at the line in notepad++ (show all characters) I entered line 2 manually. The same characters ( semicolon space brace cr+lf ) and the compiler is happy with that no sysntax error

if i paste again so i now have 4 lines ( 2 sets )

line 1 - fails -copied
line 2 - passes - manually entered
line 3 - fails --\ __ pasted as from above
line 4 - passes --/

place comma+space in front of line 1 and it passes


so it is not a positional thing ie only effecting line 1

please could anyone confirm/test or explain what i`m missing, before i put a bug report in. Using win 7 x64. IDE x64 & x86.

Thanks Zebuddi.

Copying and Pasting your code shows ??; { in Line 1.
Removing the ?? and compiling shows no syntax error ... works normal.

Actually I do not know where the ?? comes from - its not seen in the source window of chrome.
[Edit]: Clicking on *select all* and rightclick on the code shows 2 unknown signs ...

The ?? is possibly a BOM (Byte Order Mark)

Thanks for the reply gents never thought about checking for other characters as i just assumed show all character in notepad++ was all the characters.

looks like you were both right, i can now just check for it in the return string

Thanks Zebuddi.
