CodeView may display the "current instruction" highlight on the wrong
line if the source file contains lines that are very long.
The compiler counts the long lines as one line, but CodeView counts
the very long lines as two lines. This makes the line number
calculations incorrect and causes the "current line" highlight to
appear on the wrong line. This problem does not occur if the source
lines are less than 251 characters in length.
Because the Microsoft Editor breaks lines that are longer than 250
characters, this problem does not occur if you create and maintain
your source files with the Microsoft Editor.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView Version 2.20.
We are researching this problem and will post new information as it
becomes available.
