Description Ondrej Brejla 2012-10-16 07:19:15 UTC

I don't know how is this new feature called :) but what I'm talking about is that "block declaration line" which appears if I put a cursor at the end brace and the start of the block is not vissible. Then that line appears, but if I move a mouse over this "extra line", it disappears. I don't think that is intended behavior...or I don't know why it should disappear.

I couldn't get the line to disappear. I moved the caret to a class closing brace, beginning of class scrolled out, so the line + popup appeared. Then I tried to move the mouse over the line, scroll (mousewheel) up/down, the outline was still visible.

Maybe I described it wrong ;) If I put a caret on the class closing brace, class header with an opening brace is outlined as an extra row. If I move a mouse over this outlined extra row, it disappears. I think that it should be visible, until I click somewhere else. Is it clearer? :)

Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2012-10-17 08:49:31 UTC

Yes ;) thanks. But it disappears on purpose - the extra (tooltip) row tends to obscure the toolbar with clickable action buttons and possibly individual editor tabs. So when the user moves the mouse on the now-obscured area, the tooltip clears.

Comment 4 Ondrej Brejla 2012-10-17 08:57:08 UTC

Ok. But isn't possible to show it under these actions? Because it makes more sense to me, what I described. Especially if that "clickable outline" could be implemented (as I made an enhancement for that ;). Thanks!
