Normally if you encounter an error the message pane describes the last 
few lines of code, and the editor automatically takes you to the 
offending line of code.

If you use a lot of macros however it takes you to the macro definition 
instead of the place where the macro was called from. The message window 
also only shows the last few lines from the file containing the macro if 
the macro is stored somewhere else from your main scene.

This is not very helpful. I'd rather also see some sort of stack trace 
where you can view the execution hierarchy.
