When I attempt to fold code in Eclipse that folded code doesn't have a back.  As a result, when I try to work after it I often wind up inside the fold.  This happens when I attempt to work on the same line after the fold or often on the line after the fold.  

What's more, it means that in order to move the fold, I have to unfold it.  I cannot simply select and move the folded piece of code. I have to unfold it and then select it. 

I would love to see folding in Eclipse that works similar to what NetBeans has.  In NetBeans, folded code becomes an object about three characters wide that includes both the open bracket and the close bracket of the folded code.  That object can then be moved around and manipulated however I wish.  I can copy/cut/paste it and it'll apply the operation to the folded away code.  I can add spaces or new lines in front of or behind it and it will place them exactly where I would expect them to go: in front of the open bracket or behind the close as I expect.

It means I can fold away code and actually forget about it.  Where as with Eclipse's folding, I still have to be very aware of folded away code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the editor in any language, create a function.
2. Fold that function.
3. Attempt to click on same line as fold after the fold.  You will wind up in the fold at it's front.

In Ubuntu using the PDT or the CDT if you click on the line immediately after the fold you often end up in the same place.  Not always however.
