Summary: Unnecessary boxing underline supresses Step Over Expression underline
Product: debugger Reporter: IrianR
Component: CodeAssignee: Martin Entlicher <mentlicher>

Description IrianR 2014-01-15 19:26:06 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201401091443 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_45 ]

STEPS:
   1 make sure the hint "Unnecessary Boxing" is enabled in "options" ->
"editor" -> "Hints" -> "Language = Java" -> "JDK Migration support"
   2 run "Step Over Expression" Test Suite  up to point 2 "Return Values" Test
Case 

ACTUAL:
   The new Long(total) constructor is underlined in yellow by the unnecessary
boxing hint and this suppresses the green underline expected by the test case.

ENHANCEMENT:
   rework the green underline and make it show up like an hint, so at least the
hint system will make sure both the hint and the step over expression will be
accessible, maybe the step over expression should have higher priority so it's
shown first.
