Description Martin Entlicher 2006-07-04 10:58:26 UTC 
Instead of the "multi-breakpoint" glyph, for the case where we have more than
one breakpoint on a single line, show the multiple breakpoints as cycleable glyphs.

Main reason is that because a bpt can have the states: disbaled/enabled and
broken/normal and simple/complex once you merge them into the multi glyph all
this information get lost.
Comment 1 Rudolf Bock 2006-07-04 22:30:08 UTC 
Yes, this makes sense, but there is an another issue.
If we will have cycleable glyphs only, the user will see just one of them at one
time.
How we could tell him, that on that line he should look for more breakpoints.

Maybe an "multiple breakpoint icon" could signalize, that he should try "cycle"
to find all of them (to watch their state).
