There is some problem sometimes with the editor.  In these cases, the string highlighted is not exactly the one the editor is talking about.  I've quit BlueJ and I reopen it and the problem remains.  I don't know when the problem arise.  See the joined exemple.

By the way, is it possible to enlarge the line numbers zone.  As you can see in the example, it is not clear what the number is.  Also, would it be possible to change the color of the highlighted string because it is confusing with the cursor which is the same color.

I'm using BlueJ 3.0.6 on Mac OS 10.7.2

Thanks !

Hi Louise,

After looking into this I have found that having "hard" tab characters
in the source line can cause this problem (i.e. where a tab character
has been inserted, rather than the appropriate number of spaces). This
can occur if you re-bind the "tab" key via the preferences, if you use
source code from an external source, if you edit the source in a
different editor which uses hard tabs, or if you press ctrl+I to insert
a tab character within BlueJ.

In any case, if you avoid the use of hard tabs you should not see the
problem.

There is an entry in our bug database regarding the problem and I'm
working on a fix.
