[scilab-Users] Release of Scilab 5.3.0 - beta 4

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I have noticed this morning that under scilab 5.3.0 beta 4, by default 
scinotes numbers lines in "normal mode" which means that it prints the 
file line number.

The old editor displayed the file line and the function line which was 
very useful to find errors. I have found the "whereami mode" which is 
more or less ok.

I'm used to the "whereami" mode (and actually spend 20 minutes trying to 
fix a bug on the wrong line). Maybe this could be the default (this 
could be done easily). Or we could print the 2 modes like in the old 
editor (this should not be too hard to do).

Another idea would be to print the offending instruction in the console 
to find errors (this is probably tricker).
