Error list contains no line numbers

Warning! Visual Studio has a bug caused by the project path containing parentheses. It results in the error list not containing any line numbers. So after compiling, you get an error list, but you can't click the error to jump to the offending line. Not even the offending file is listed. All you can do is search your 10,000 lines of code for the error. This is particularly annoying when the error is "Semicolon expected".

By the way, a bug has been reported to the Visual Studio team and was marked "Closed (won't fix)." Thanks Microsoft!
