Processing doesn't say where the error is

Processing

For me Processing (4.4.1) is not saying where the error is. It’s doing it for any sketch but see Examples, Topics, Curves, ArcLengthParametrization. Comment out line 21 //final int POINT_COUNT = 80; and run the sketch.

It says “POINT_COUNT cannot be resolved to a variable” but doesn’t move the edit window to the problem line 41.

I think it used to highlight the problem line.

I wondered if it was a setting I’d chosen but I checked on another account (not a user of Processing) on this PC and it’s the same there.

Above was on a Windows-7 Laptop. I’ve just tried on a Windows-10 laptop and it’s alright, it jumps to the error line and highlights. Good.

The problem is probably on W7 only, or something I’ve done on the installation etc.

I noticed a related bug when looking at this, where things are flaky when jumping to an error that’s in a different tab. Can you reproduce the problem in a project with only one tab?

Hello @joshg, thanks for your reply. It happens to me on sketches with 1 or several tabs.
