[Gambas-user] Gambas scripts strange error reaction

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

When I make a pure Gambas script starting with

#!/usr/bin/env gbs3

in a text file, make it executable and start it, when there is an error, 
sometimes there will be the whole source text printed in the terminal 
followed by an error message.

This is not true for all errors, some produce an error message only.

My guess is that when a logical error is detected (e. g. I had forgotten 
a quote sign, and the interpreter could not make a rhyme of my comment), 
it will list the whole script followed by some error message which is 
completely misleading.

When a runtime error occurs (like "file not found"), it will print this 
error message only.

Is it a bug or a feature?
