Description frodesto 2010-09-13 09:48:20 UTC
The function for highlighting all method exit points when placing the cursor on the return type of a method is very useful. 

However, if you move down to an occurrence (Alt-Down) and do some editing the exit point occurrence highlighting will get lost. To move down to the next exit point occurrence you first have to move back up to the method return type declaration to re-activate the highlighting and then down again all the way to the next occurrence.

It would be very useful if the "highlight all method exit points" function was also activated when placing the cursor on a "return" keyword. It would then be easy to move down to the next occurrence.
