Re: Ruler at top of editor

I prefer to have the ruler too. For one thing, it is easier to see where columns 6 and 7 are. Free-Form+++++ tells me nothing. I also just noticed that that as I arrow down through a sub-procedure, the ruler area changes as follows: last D-spec = column names, blank line = column names from previous D-spec, /Free = ruler, blank line = column names from previous D-spec, free format line = Free-From+++++.

Interesting - I am guessing that it came with the full free-format support.

In that support, maybe you aren't supposed to need to know what column you are in. Me, I've still prefer to know that, for alignment, because I still don't see the editor doing the best job of alignment when inserting and all that - Visual Studio's way of handling VB, with adjustment up and down everything, can be much better.

I just installed the fixpack for RDi, bringing me up to version 9.0.1. I am not sure when this behavior changed but it is different than 8.5.1:

When I open a source member with a comment as the first line, the line at the top of the editor is like a ruler, "....+....1....+....2" etc. In version 8.5.1, as I scroll down through the program and put my cursor on a free format line, the ruler is still displayed. In version 9.0.1, the same behavior is exhibited when I open the source member, but when I scroll down and put my cursor on a free format line, the line at the top of the editor window shows "Free-Form+++++++++++++". When did that change and was it intentional?
