Description Randy Hudson CLA 2002-06-27 11:04:31 EDT 
I cannot display a compile error ar the Caret location in the Java source 
editor.  You must either have the Task List open, or use the mouse to hover 
over the ruler.  I don't want the task list open, and some users can't use the 
mouse (Or the X is covered by a Quickfix icon).  Control+'.' very often fails 
to update the status line, and even if it worked is not the ideal method.

The compile error should be displayed in the status bar as the Caret moves.  
And, for times when there are multiple compile errors at a single "range 
selection" in the source, Control+'.' should be fixed so that it works 
consistently.

F2 does not work?
Comment 2 Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-06-27 12:21:05 EDT 
i mean: pressing F2 :)
Comment 3 Randy Hudson CLA 2002-06-27 12:45:55 EDT 
I asked how to do this on the newsgroup and was told to use Control+'.'

It seems that F2 does work fine :-)  Yea!

I still think that the status bar could be updated more often (like when moving 
the caret), and Control+. is inconsistent about updating the status bar.
