Description gugrim 2007-10-23 12:23:04 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200710221200 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_02 ]

After editing a source file for a while, the error stripe fill up
with bars for every new, deleted and edited line which make all other
indicators difficult to see and to hit with the mouse.

Not having an option to switch these indicators off makes the error 
stripe almost unusable after a while.

I propose 2 possibilities:

1. Put a means of accessing a filter on the error bar itself, maybe accessed
 by clicking the status square at the top.

2. Putting new options in the options dialog.
Comment 2 Maros Sandor 2007-10-23 13:07:30 UTC 
If each "Errostripe MarkProvider" could have a display name, there would be a possibility to turn them on/off centrally
in the editor.
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-10-24 10:33:53 UTC 
Any input on this from UI people? Thanks
Comment 4 jrojcek 2007-10-24 11:06:46 UTC 
This probably deserves an option. Both solutions proposed by dynamite sound good to me. We can also consider a simple right click in the error stripe for 
accessing the options. Before we proceed with implementation we need a UI spec as usual to check it would really work as expected. ;-)

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
