Since I understood absolutely nothing from the author's description of the thread, and the matter intrigued me, I decided to try to reproduce this error.
It looks like this:
Here with the dark theme, which in my opinion is absolutely useless in practice, but shows better which line is highlighted:
To sum up.
The error only occurs when the percent sign is preceded by blank lines. (If any text precedes it, the program cannot be loaded.)
Then, if we select a path in the preview, the nth line of the file will be highlighted in the file window instead of the nth line of g-code.
Overall, the error is insignificant and occurs in very specific conditions, but this thread is proof that the user can become very confused...
