I'm not sure if anyone else has run into problems, but I have some and figured this thread would be good for reporting.
The main thing is FBIDE just crapping out on me for some errors instead of showing the errors. It happens mostly with thinks like forgetting an end if:
I'm not sure if something like this will be reproducable, but for me it just shuts down the IDE when I go compile. There are also other places this happens, like trying to call a winsock function with a return variable of the wrong type, or trying to call a user32 function. Different things, all while I'm working with gui code (so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it). Something else I noticed when messing with the menu gui example was if I tried to change the text displayed in the middle of the box, the IDE would crap out and shutdown.
Also, if you have multiple tabs open and on one scroll to the right, when you go back to another tab the scroll to the right remains.
A feature request would be the compiler only applying syntax formatting to .bas/.bi files, or other files of your choosing. In my session I have a .txt file and a .cpp file that are all out of whack with syntax formatting. Also, I'm not sure if this is in there and I missed it, but a word wrap option to the width you specify to set that little vertical line across the screen would be nice. This is more handy for the text files (library documentation) in the sessions.

Code:
if shoestinks = true then
grabairfreshener
sprayliberally
if hairisgreasy = true then
grabshampoo
massagethatscalp
rinse
