Re: Mark Occurrences support

Edmund, does this feature require that the live outline be turned on and
correctly loaded? That's my experience so far. Sources where the outline
is broken produce very odd results, and of course the outline for CL is
still pathetic, so it doesn't work there, either.

I also see the behavior Buck noted where it doesn't pick up additions until
it's 'reset', so to speak. I assume that's a design issue, rather than a
bug per se.

It fails to work for me as well. To start using the highlighter you

turn on the highlighter on the tool bar (appears on the right side to the
tool bar next to the quick access search box, for me) and double click on a
defined item (anything that stars with a DCL-xxx). It attempts to
highlight the line which the field is found but it always highlights the
source line to the right by about 12 characters. It does not highlight
lines for fields used with the operators like +=, -=, /=, *=, fields used
in in-line conditions to set indicators, fields used in definition keywords
and when the field is not the first field token on the line (this includes
multiple uses on same line).

This works for me but I might have a different scenario to present.
Open an existing member with the following lines:

dcl-s myVar int(10);
myVar += 1;

Turn on the highlighter.
Double click myVar on the DCL-S line.
Both instances are highlighted and marked to the right.
Now duplicate the += line.
The new line is not marked, nor is the variable highlighted.
Ctrl-S to save. Still not highlighted or marked.
I have the Outline View set to auto-refresh. Clicking the refresh icon
does not mark or highlight the new lines. The only thing that seems to
work is to click a different variable and come back to myVar. That
works 100% of the time for me.

I updated to 9.1.1 via IM on top of my existing 9.1, not a new

installation.

Same here. One additional note: When I tried starting up, I got an
error in some log file I neglected to record (had a meeting and stupidly
smacked Enter). I started again with -clean and it came up fine.

I didn't think I'd take to this (I don't use it much in java) but I
think I like it for those older beasts where the same variable is
scattered across 2000 lines of code.
