Since upgrading to Delphi 7, I find the IDE keeps jumping to the wrong line.
For example, jumping to an error always takes me to a few lines above the
real line, and stepping through the de{*word*81} has the same effect (that is,
it highlights the wrong line). Has anyone else seen this and know a
solution?
Thanks.

It might be spurious line terminators in your source code ... if you look at
your .pas file in notepad you might see cr/lf characters (notepad displays
them as little outlined squares). Delphi accepts them without problem until
you try to debug and then it gets confused !

That was it. Thanks, Andrew! It turned out that I did have some of these,
and even the ones in comments threw it off, too.
