Description
I had several entries in which \lx got smushed together with its word (e.g. \lxhambei), and SOLID helpfully detected them. However, when I clicked on each marker, some of them would show up in the right-hand pane, and some wouldn't. This is disconcerting and makes it difficult to fix the problems from inside SOLID. I then opened the file up in Notepad++ and verified that the bad markers are indeed all there. Thus, it was easiest to fix them in Notepad++ (now that they'd been identified by SOLID, of course).
I've attach my (unfixed) file.
using SOLID 0.9.318.0

I think I've figured out why/when this happens. It looks like SOLID counts all occurrences of a given marker, but ignores the empty ones when you click on the marker name and browse through the matching records. So for example, if I click on \lf, records like this one will show up:
\lx parancina
\saku no
\dt 12/May/2009
\lf lihat
\lv palola mbawu
\ln tomat
\le tomato
\ps
\sn 1
\de tomato
\dn tomat
But records like this one will not:
\lx palola mbawu
\saku no
\dt 23/Jan/2009
\lf
\lv parancina
\le tomat
\ps n
\sn 1
\dn tomat
\de tomato
\is 5.2.3.3.3
\sd Spice
I think both kinds should show up, especially since I might want to fix the second one.

This issue is the same as #159. -Jon

This would be really helpful to have fixed, or some way easily find the smushed markers, so they could be fixed in some other editor.

Note that here the primary underlying issue with Solid is this one:
"Confusing differnce in what constitutes an existing marker" http://projects.palaso.org/issues/show/159
The underlying issue here with my data was simply bad data--bogus record markers--and it's easy to find out what they are in Solid by scanning the top-left pane for bogus markers. However, you should then use a separate editor to find and fix them.
This might even be necessary after #159 gets fixed, if the munged marker in question happens to be \lx, since Solid doesn't like you messing with the record marker:
"Change field to \lx and it disappears" http://projects.palaso.org/issues/show/173

TODO: Have a look at this, not sure how we'll handle it at this stage.
