…seemingly at random: sometimes it’s there, sometimes not, without any reason I can discern.

I have validation turned on at the IDE and project levels. I never build JS projects in Eclipse, but (again) sometimes the markers are there in the margin, sometimes not; there are definitely syntax errors in there, as “Format Document” finds them….

In which views, and under what conditions, are these markers (a red circled ‘X’ in my case) _supposed_ to show up?

Thanks,

M.T.,
Markers in the left column are compilation errors (real errors), markers in the right are reconciler errors (warnings and lessers unconfirmed errors). In a perfect world they should always match, but they don’t with more abstract languages and files unfortunately.

Thta being said the errors should stay put until the problem they are marking is fixed. The editor has some more that needs to be done on it though and it will continue to improve moving forward.

I don’t know if upgrading to Eclipse 3.2 and MyEclipse 5.0 would improve the situation for you, but if you wanted to try it, I would encourage you to create a parallel install and not touch your existing working one.
