In 5f76e28f65f3 on Linux, JDK 6. When I have a class missing @Override on some overriding methods, most of the time the green "Override" annotation is on top in the editor gutter with the yellow "Warning" annotation invisible. So I can see the yellow underline indicating that @Override is missing, but Alt-Enter does nothing. I can only make the hint visible by clicking with the mouse in the gutter, but I would have to repeat this for every such occurrence, which is quite tedious and forces me to use the mouse.
This is a general problem, a hint can be invoked by Alt-Enter only if "Bulb" annotation is on top in the gutter. It does not work also when it is hidden by e.g. breakpoint annotation.
Right, I think hints should be put on top in general. Or simply make Alt-Enter work even if the hint is not displayed on top.
