I have been using Komodo IDE for years which has been abandoned and switched to Padre which I like much better but there is a really horrible bug that is difficult to deal with and of course it has also been abandoned so no chance of a fix. I am looking for a work around or maybe an option setting that has so far escaped me. The problem is with syntax checking. When it works it is fine and I like to use it so have not turned it off completely. It seems to get confused by irrelevant "non code" blank lines and commented lines frequently need to be added remove or who knows what to shut the get the syntax checker to not give false alarms. Some times it is fine and other times I spend more time screwing around with comments and blank lines than I do coding. I tried to figure out some code I could use that would always shut it up but have not found anything I tried ###### ######! which works some time but some times not. usually deleting a few comments (which i would really rather keep) shuts it up but not always. Some times I need to insert comments or blank lines. This is really driving me nuts. Is there a setting I am missing or a work around or is there a currently supported IDE I can switch to? I am still using perlapp separately from the IDE so all I need is an editor with syntax checking and some sort of ability to run the code and or debug it
