mismatched lines for debugging

[rektide]

i am trying to debug some JS but the lines are mismatched. i have to
look four lines down to figure out what line i am actually on.

interestingly enough venkman's exhibits the same problem.

why is this happening and how can it be prevented?

further note, i tried 1.1.0b10 and that version of firebug is still
giving me the same misbehavior.

I had a similar problem. Are you using JSP's?
Make sure that your JSP's are correctly pre/post processed and that no
empty lines are injected into the JSP.

Please provide a test case, perhaps on the issues list:

[rektide]

It is a JSP and there are empty lines. Will all empty lines cause
problems, or only empty lines in certain places?

[rektide]

I will look into generating a reasonable sized test case. Hopefully I
can make some time for that on the 27th.

Adam Gordon found the only cause of line-table drift that is as large
as you report:

This will happen if you have multiple script tags with src attributes
and the tags span more than one line.
All other cases that I know of are off by one errors.

Thank you for the kindly characterization report, it will be immensely
helpful in generating a good bug report. I will patch all multi-line
<script src=""></script>'s and see if we still have any issues.
