Description jrojcek 2006-04-11 09:54:19 UTC 
Finding	
Clicking on error description in output window puts an annotation icon into editor gutter. But this 
annotation was not visible because editor gutter could show only one icon. The cycling annotation icon 
was visible though.

Severity	
This is confusing because user doesn't understand what are we trying to tell with the cycling icon.

Recommendation	
Do not indicate current error with annotation icon.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of 'error indicating' annotations in
Tools-Options. It's not even clear from the dialog what is their purpose. We
should unify them, and perhaps modules could share the same one if its meaning
was the same.

The error annotation coming from the output window has been disabled for ant output.
