This is coming from the gsf/tools module, which isn't part of 6.0 - it's a diagnostic tool for debugging GSF. If you close the AST viewer (the GSF one, which is unrelated to NBS support - I think Schliemann/GLF has its own) the problem should go away. (The problem here is that the caret listener isn't updated when the source is reparsed, but I haven't bothered debugging this since it's not a general purpose tool.)
Hmm, I just see one AST viewer (comming with gsf). I just installed a daily and downloaded the Common Scripting Language Development Tool. I think I remember a plugin called "Generic Language Framework Studio" but I can't find it on the Updatecenters. I can see it in the sources so I will try to build by hand, but maybe I am looking in the wrong places. Thanks for the hint.
Yes, I think you've looking for languages/studio, and it doesn't appear to be included in the daily alpha builds cluster anymore (or in any other cluster for that matter) - so you'll need to build from source.
Since this is a rare use case, and there is a workaround, I think this is a P4.
