Consider the following Java snippet: try { URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com"); // [1] URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); // [2] // etc. } catch (MalformedURLException mue) { // handle mue } catch (IOException ioe) { // [3] // handle ioe } Enable highlighting of Exception Throwing Points (Options > Editor > Highlighting). If I put the caret over IOException in line [3], both "new URL(...)" in line [1] and "url.openConnection()" in line [2] get highlighted. I think that only [2] should be highlighted, because there exists a previous catch clause that catches the exception thrown by [1].
