Yes, I double-checked. I have v2.6 of wlist. I downloaded it and installed it and the problem came back.

I am using wlist. I disabled it by unchecking it in Tools, Configure Plug-Ins. The problem indeed went away. What a pity! I find wlist really handy.

Since installing version 7.1.1.1350 yesterday, each time I close PL/SQL Developer, it appears to close then one of those Microsoft windows pops up: "PL/SQL Developer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And it asks if I want to send the error...

I think it actually compiles because it takes a while. Also, if I compile with all the remarks AND an error, it for sure compiles because it takes some time about it and it says "Compiled with errors." It won't tell you what the errors are, however. Further experimentation shows that it fails...

Sorry! I didn't see "page 2" and thought my first message didn't make it!

I just noticed a new wrinkle: - I compiled a package body with an error so the icon got a little red X in the browser. - I corrected the error and recompiled, but the code had "excess" comments at the beginning. Although I got the "compiled successfully" message, the red X did not go away. -...

I just noticed an interesting wrinkle: I compiled a package body with an error, so the package body got a little red X in the browser. When I corrected the error and compiled the package body with excess remarks, I got the "Compiled Successfully" message but the red X didn't go away. Then I...

Call me dim, and I do admit I haven't used many plug-ins, but I don't get it. This sounded interesting so I installed Scale. The one-line instruction says "copy some text to the clipboard, and select Scale..." Select Scale from where? I right-clicked and dropped down all over the place, but...

Now I have to apologize...sort of: You are right in that if I substitute any character in the words "procedure" and "package" so they are not those special words, the body compiles with errors reported. I am still right that if I leave those two words but delete any character from the REM...

Are you sure you carefully replaced each character you removed from the remarks with another character? You may replace it with any character you want. Please be sure you understand my premise: The code I sent has one more character in the pre-code remarks than the "magic number" that causes...

I disagree. By removing that line all you did was remove a bunch of characters out of the remarks. If you remove that line but substitute the same number of characters for the stuff you removed, the problems still exist. I'm still convinced that the error occurs when you exceed some magic...

I think I've stripped the problem down to bare bones in the code below. In the .pkg code, I've commented out the variable g_body_version so the .bdy compile will fail. Problem 1: When I compile the .bdy code I get the message "Compiled with errors" but no detail of the errors. If I delete one...

I just returned from vacation and was pleased to see that v7.0.3 is released. I have installed it, but I find only one of the 3 problems I reported above is fixed. The problems arise when you have too many remarks at the beginning of package code; "too many" is somewhere around 10,000...

I just installed 7.0.3 "final beta". The problem isn't fixed at all.

I just realized that another ramification of the bug is this: The slash on the last line of my code is deleted. Our standards require package bodies have a final line that is just a slash in order to compile correctly when the code is folded into our install scripts. In the past few months I...
