RDi: Error list does not position to correct source line if any source lines have been added or deleted

System: RDi for RPG
Actor: User needing defective feature to be fixed

RDi currently provides the ability to quickly position to compiler errors by double-clicking the error in the Error List.

Issue: If you modify your source code by adding or deleting lines, double-clicking errors in the Error List no longer position correctly to the source lines in error.


Use Case:

Scenario:
1)click on error in Error List
2)have LPEX editor correctly position to line in error

    This feature was delivered in version 9.6.
    Error List messages are now displayed as annotations in the editor instead of inserted as pink inline message text. Double clicking on verify or compile errors in the Error List view, will open the source member, insert the messages as annotations, highlight the code in error and allow you to hover over the code and click on a link to get the second level message help. If you prefer to go back to the style where messages are inserted as text in the source, select the View Menu -> Message Style -> Show messages as annotations (drop down arrow icon on the right hand side of the Error List view). Note: Syntax check errors are also set to display messages as annotations by default. To turn this off, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers. Uncheck ‘Display syntax check messages as annotations’. Issue: Annotations cannot be properly displayed for some DDS compile messages and should be turned off for this case. This is a known issue and will be corrected. For more information, see the documentation in:https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE4W_9.6.0/com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.doc/topics/t_error_message_style.html

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
