Can't get the compiled lines blue dots to line up

Forgive my ignorance for not knowing the proper terminology, but when
Delphi includes a line in source code into the compiled result, it puts
a blue dot beside it. My dots don't line up in one of my units so that
I can't debug the unit. This seems to occur half way down the unit, and
I see no special reason why it should be. I've tried deleting lines to
get rid of special characters, I've removed and readded the unit to the
project, I've restarted Delphi, I've restarted my computer, I've deleted
all files for the project that aren't absolutely necessary and can be
rebuilt.

In what it is probably a related problem, I can't the project to realize
that the file is not available also. I can remove the unit from the
project and the project still compiles and builds. The unit is not in
the local directory of the project, and the directory it resides in is
not in the Delphi library path, search path or environment path. When I
Ctrl-left-click on the unit in the uses, it says 'Unable to find'.
When I Ctrl-Return on the unit, it brings up an Open dialog. But it
still compiles and runs!

I'm running BDS4, Update2, and this is a Delphi.Net WinForms
application, though I've seen similar problems since Delpi 4 but it
always went away..

Thank you for any suggestions!

Our red cross has happily transformed into a green tick and we’re off debugging! I don’t know about you, but there’s a special, warm place in my heart reserved for green ticks.

You can do several things – run it, so it continues; step line by line, so it executes the ShowMessage line but stops at the next, and so forth.

This is normally because the line end characters are not CR/LF. AN
easy way to fix this is to open the unit in notepad and save it.

It will still compile if the dcu/dcuil file is available.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem seems to run deeper than
that. Again, I removed the unit from the project. This time I searched
for the file, deleted all dcuil files and renamed the source file. So -
for all intents and purposes the file no longer physically exists, nor
any precompiled version of it. The project STILL compiles and builds!?

I tried the Notepad thing and it didn't help. I did make sure that I
made some visible changes to the file to verify that BDS was using the
file I thought it was..

All of this is for naught, I suppose, as I created a new project, adding
the very same units that were in the original, and everything now reacts
as expected. Next time I won't waste an afternoon and do this directly.
