Annoying Vertical Line in Script Editor

Korina

Hey all, this is a minor issue I got with my editor. There's this vertical line that I can't seem to get rid off and don't seem to have any function at all from what I can tell.

Is this some feature in the script editor? Mayhap I accidentally hit a shortcut for it? Would appreciate any help me get rid of it.

Edit: Huh, I can't seem to attach/post any pictures.

Using Godot Version is 3.2.1 stable.

Ok, so after some testing I'm fairly sure this is a bug and not a feature. Though it seems to stem from my local system.

For one it exists in multiple projects both new and old. Secondly when I tried to use an older version of Godot (3.2) the line is still there. Third, I re-downloaded 3.2.1 and directly ran it from the .zip (which would have extracted it first to the temp folder) and wouldn't you guess, it's also there.

So yeah, looks like whatever this is from, it's local. Don't know how I can replicate it for others.

Separate topic, @Megalomaniak I finished registration hours ago and still can't post any images. The only notification I get is "Server responded with 0 code"

When posting a new post can you see a button at the bottom of the editor that says 'Add Image*? Does that work?

edit: also what web browser might you be using? We are aware that Brave has some issues, but it's not something we can do anything about.

Korina

@Megalomaniak Yes I am using Brave and yup, that seems to be the problem. Thanks for pointing that out.

Back to the main topic, here is my current nemesis I'm tackling.

It's ever present in every project and version of Godot I can get my hands on.

Ah, that is no bug. It just indicates(by default 80) a character margin. GDScript is somewhat similar to python and many choose to follow PEP 8 like conventions where the lines are kept rather short. In PEP 8 it's typically 79 characters max per line.

If you look in the editor settings there's a couple of settings affecting that line. Navigate to the Editor Settings > Text Editor > Appearance and at the end you see a option to toggle it and another to adjust the character value for where it should appear.

Oh thank heavenly jesus for clearing that out. I tend to crop my code lines on my own initiative and never needed a guide like that, so I never suspected it had anything to do with PEP8.

Thanks a bunch man.
