Description Simon Tardell CLA 2003-04-29 06:01:23 EDT 
An element, such as a method will often, as a whole, be indented with regards 
to the class body. When you only show one element at a time, seeing this 
indentation conveys no extra information (since you can't scroll to see the 
class). It does waste screen real estate, though.

The editor should hide that the method (or other element) is indented 
when "Show Source of Selected Element Only" is selected. In a sense, the white 
space to the left of a method could be regarded as belonging to the class 
rather than the method.
