Description Paul Eggleton 2017-08-07 09:37:05 UTC
With the recent rework in master if you change bblayers.conf to have a bad line continuation (e.g. a comment that ends in \ with a blank line after it) then you get back a rather ugly error message with lines that should be separated out crunched together.

I can't reproduce this. Maybe fixed?
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2022-07-01 16:59:08 UTC
Not fixed but I've sent out a patch for it
