[issue46237] Incorrect line reported in syntax error

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I understand.  I think that for IDLE, I should check that the error .text is in the line indicated, and if not, recover somehow rather than blindly marking the the indicated column.  For a shell statement entry, try to find the right line.  Not sure for an editor syntax error.  This is a rare situation in any case.
