BUG: Character Position in Code Editor Wrong

UnknownUser

I just noticed that the character position display in the code editor shows as ( Y, X ) instead of the other way around. Super minor, of coz.

The forums are not really an ideal place to report bugs. We are not setup to track bugs or inform Godot developers of them. Please open a new issue on the GitHub repository, if one does not already exist for this bug. Thanks :smile:

Edit: Also, I think this may be intended and not a bug. Normally for IDEs, you have the line as the first coordinate, and the word on the line as the second. This would correspond to (Y, X), if seen as coordinates.

Fair point, though I'm used to it being explicitly labelled when it's deliberate... when you just see a pair of coordinates, you do expect them to be traditional (X,Y).

Thanks for the response!

Line/column coordinates don't really obey an X/Y system in my experience. Most code editors will always display the line number first then the column number (if it's even displayed).

Likewise, file names with line/column specifiers often use the file:line:column syntax.

Yeah, like I said, I agree'd with Twisted's point, but they usually DO at least have descriptive text.

Not at all a big deal in any case, since the only thing I've ever used the page coordinates for is to keep my line lengths from going too long.
