Description James Moger CLA 2004-12-08 15:31:03 EST 
The Quick Fix icon overlays the Breakpoint indicator in the text editor.  This
is most apparent when trying to set a breakpoint.  You can't tell if the
breakpoint has been set because its covered with the lightblulb.

I find the eagerness of Quick Fix akin to the Microsoft Paper Clip Guy.  I just
want to know about breakpoints.  To me this is a usability issue.

Maybe there should be two columns of indicators: Breakpoints (which are the most
important in any IDE) and Other.

Thanks.

Do you talk about the quick fix or the quick assist light bulb (is a bit bigger
and has no error tick)?

Note:
1) you can disable to show the light bulb (Java > Appearance)
2) you can enable roll-over hovers (Java > Hovers)

Thanks for the pointer to the config options.  Disabling the light bulb makes me
happy.  :)  As for which light bulb I was referring to - I don't know the
difference between Quick Assist and Quick Fix.  Either way, the preference
options you suggested did the trick.

To be more precise for other folks who may stumble on this, the options were in
Java -> Editor -> Appearance and Java -> Editor -> Hover (at least for Eclipse
3.0.1).

Thanks.
