Description Ryan Cooper CLA 2002-01-23 12:18:00 EST
Build: 20020115

It is difficult to find information about an error in a file without using a 
mouse. Using a mouse, the user can find information about an error on a line of 
code by hovering over the little red circle with the X that appears to the left 
of the line of code causing the error. When using the keyboard, to view 
information about an error, the user must switch to the Tasks view and search 
through the list to find the right error. This is difficult because the fields 
in the Task view are not wide enough to show very much information (for 
example, the In Folder and Location fields are not wide enough for the user to 
be able to see which line and file an error occurs in).

Steps:
1. Open any java file.
2. Insert an error on some line of the file.
3. Compile.
4. Use Ctrl-F7 to select the Tasks view.
5. Find the error that you caused.
