Is there anyway we can get more of this message instead of ending with ... when trying to save a view?

Looking for well-formedness error like closing tag missing on line

Splunk 4.3 now has a "Rich Editor" mode while editing views. Non-Welformedness will be highlighted in Red!! This is a great step in the right direction! However, error on line number when saving would be a great help. UPDATE:

Looks like wellformedness errors contain line numbers now!
