Red bar in DAX editor

What does the red bar in the DAX editor mean? I have tried looking in guided learnings, on YouTube, in text, in Power BI glossaries, etc. but have not found an answer. There is no error message underneath the formula.

Hi there!

That bar shows the lines where you have errors in your code. For what I could see it might keep showing the bar even when the error was already solved but that seems to be a bug.

THANK YOU! I have wondered if it is a bug since there is no error message and I can still use the measure in my visuals. I've checked the math on the visuals and they're being calculated correctly, so I could not figure it out. I appreciate the help!
