The problem occurs this way: I insert a new variable name into the code somewhere e.g. "newone" in this example:

int a;

foo()
{
  a=17;
  newone=23;
}

The file is saved (so the indexer is reindexing). Then I added the definition:

int a, newone;

foo1()
{
  newone=0;
}


foo()
{
  a=17;
  newone=23;
}

The indexer will still shows the error at the line " newone=23;" but not at the other lines of code containing "newone".

Solution: first define your variables, then use it.
