Problem Description

While running a Python program, an error message is created in the console. Clicking the error message should take me to the appropriate line in the Python code (and it did so in earlier versions of Spyder), but it does not now. The mouse pointer changes to a finger when hovering over the error message, but clicking has no effect.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Run a Python program that has a coding error. An error message is generated in the console; this error message has an associated line number from the Python program.
2. Click the generated error message in the console. Nothing happens.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect that clicking the error message in the console would move the current line in the editor to the corresponding line that contains the error. What I see instead is that nothing happens.

N/A. There is no Python error generated by the problem.
