I found this pretty odd, below you'll see two screenshots of my code, one has an extra space in it. The code with the extra space does not execute and the compiler does not attempt to complain...

Does this only happen in the Beta version?
You have the topic's version as 498.

I didn't back-test this, but I noticed this in the most recent beta 498 (which is what I'm running and what I'm talking about here)

edit: I mean 499

Are you using tabs or spaces for indentation?


Also, a note (I just tested this), it only happens on certain lines...maybe only those with proc calls? End of a block of code?

I always indent with tabs, default DM behavior.

Typing a space in front of the line of code caused it to not execute and the compiler didn't complain about inconsistent indentation, or something of the sort.

Just to clarify, this is happening to me on 499.1128 and I updated my post to reflect the proper version where the problem is occurring.

Oh, well please test it in 498 so we can see if it's actually a bug in the beta or not.

Just tested, also happens on 498.1163

Ok, that makes more sense. Pretty low priority but we'll take a look.
