Cannot compile when debug checked

[hoenie]

I have a seating_chart.lzx that compiles and runs without problem. But if I check "Debug" and then compile, I get this:

The application could not be compiled due to the following errors:
Compilation Errors
seating_chart.lzx:156:10: Block

On line 156 of seating_chart.lzx, there is the beginning of the <script> tag and nothing else. This tag is closed with </script> on line 733.

In addition, there is not a single instance of "debug" and "Debug" anywhere in the .lzx file. That's why I am totally puzzled.

I can also get the same error if I bug ' debug="true" ' in the <canvas> tag.

Has anybody encountered this problem? What is a "Block" error, anyway?

Thanks.

Try to split up your script-block. I think I've read once of this bug on the dev-mails.
But I think it is fixed, at least in the nightly builds...

I've just found the dev-mail:

I'll check in a fix for the message (along with a bunch of other
accumulated tweaks).

Thank you very much, senshi.

Splitting the script block into two smaller blocks does get rid of the compilation failure error. I can do my debugging again!

The version of OpenLazslo I am using is v3.3.3. If I ever get to update to the nightly build, I'll check to see if this bug has been fixed.
