    Looks like Mecanique is not interested to maintain its product good and constantly updated.
    I've spent a bunch of dollars but I definitely stop to use it. I can't see these awful behaviours.
    One new, just found a few days ago: a good search tool should show all the occourences in all modules of the keyword. But not pretending too much, at least it should find what you are looking inside a module .. look to the picture, it is self-explained ....

    I've seen this where there is an obvious label, yet I get a compile error like the one above. It is almost always something totally unrelated, like a DO without a LOOP, or an IF without an ENDIF. When this happens, I have to pore over the code one line at a time to try to figure it out. It would be nice if the accused (LABEL not found) were the culprit every time, but the diagnostics in the IDE are limited. There will be something in your code that doesn't 100% follow the rules, and it isn't the lack of Debug_SMS_OutBuffer.

    in this case I have no compile error. I was just searching for that label and that poor IDE is not able to find it ... close to unbelievable ! (Thinking that all modules are plain text)

    Just to continue the discussion, migrating to OT I know, I can’t explain why a nice tool like PBP is not able to perfectly integrate in MPLAB without that funny color coding (this is the reason I gave MCD a chance)

    1) I don't think it searches all open files, just the active tab. You can say that's a bug or feature or missing feature or whatever. Personally I'm fine with that but an option to search all open files couldn't hurt I guess.
    2) When you search for something you have the option to search from the cursor and "down" or from the cursor and "up". Is it possible that your label was on "the wrong side" of the cursor combined with your selection? Again, I guessa message box popping up asking if you want to "wrap around" could be useful.

    As for the error messages, they don't come from the IDE, they come from the compiler. Make sure you look at the last error and not just the first.

    I totally agree that by now we should have a better IDE - but we don't.

    Well, I was searching inside a specific module and I'm quite sure about the UP and DOWN rule, but maybe I was wrong, I can't confirm it because now it works .....

    I'm often tempted to move to MPLABX and XC, I've played a bit with some tutorials and it looks really powerful. But a lot of stuff to study and probably there are a lot of bugs there too ....
