Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2015-09-04 16:26:01 EDT 
I think it would be great if "Expand vertical ruler icons upon hovering" would be enabled by default. Whenever there are more than one icons in the vertical ruler, it becomes hard to use. For years, I thought there was no solution. A colleague just showed me this preference and I was surprised that it has been there for so long and not a lot of people seems to know about it.

So I think it would be great to have it enabled by default as I don't really see any cons and only better exposure for this nice feature.

Removing the target. It can be assigned back once the blocking bugs are fixed.
