help with p3 bug: found a { thats missing a matching }

in Using Processing

I have a sketch that compiles and runs in earlier pde's (most recently 2.2.1) but fails to compile in 3.3. It just says "found a { that's missing a matching }". Is there a way to get more info? Like where the unmatched { is located?

Thanks for any help-

    You could be missing a curly bracket, or a semicolon or a parentheses. Open your sketch in the processing IDE and then press ctrl+T to autoformat your code. Hopefully that helps to locate the culprit. If you have multiple tabs, then what I will do is export the project, open the java file in the processing IDE and try using ctrl+t and try to see where the matching and line alignment fails.

    Thank you for the suggestions kfrajer! Tried them both, but no luck ("No changes necessary for Auto Format", and just "Export Failed.")

    But I did find the culprit in the comments and commented code. It looks like P3 is confusing commented code with actual code, the comment that's breaking it is: // 720x960 = 7.5" x 10" (0.5" borders) (could be the "'s or the ()'s)

    Is there a place to report a bug like this (other than here)?

    Finding a second issue, but I'll start a separate thread for it.
