Highlight controls with XPath errors #860

Without that, form authors know they have an error somewhere, as Form Builder shows the "There is one XPath error in your form." message next to the buttons, but they have no way to know where that error is, other than running the form and checking the orbeon.log.

I was about to +1 this but it's been 9 years. I'm not going to hold my breath for this. Sad because this is extremely important. Now, I have to bug people for log files. I have way too many responsibilities and to be concerning myself with this. ugh

@beasleylarry Sorry to disappoint. Is your main issue really about XPath expressions entered by users in Form Builder? Do you have an example of error scenario you have to deal with?
