Let me accompany it with graphic example, see this 5-min demo from 
MATLAB devs (you could start viewing from 3rd minute)

> matter which lines of code I'm observing for now, I don't have to 
> scroll code, when I see horizontal mark I just press it and editor 
> moves cursor to the problem line of code. BTW there are 2 types of the 
> lines in matlab : red (error) and yellow (warning). Sometimes they 
> appear "on-fly", i.e. even before user invokes "save" or "run" buttons.
> Also, MATLAB has square image in the top of file (above area related 
> to breakpoints) about 1 x 1 sm, and that one is: red (there is at 
> least one error), yellow (there is at least one warning), gray (no 
> issues found). When I press it, cursor is moved to next code line with 
> an issue (i.e. error or warning).
