I am using eclipse neon to program in Java.
Im talking about the veritical bar on the left where it shows the little error icon. Normally I would go hover over it and it would show a description and I could click to see automatic resolutions.
Then I decided I would be adventurous and play with some editor settings...
Now somehow when I hover over the error icon what pops up is a small box with 2 icons. a breakpoint icon and an error icon. the breakpoint icon is always right under my mouse. so if I just click again it adds a breakpoint. So now I have to go hover over the problem icon, then that thing pops up then I need to move over to the right just a tad to get back over the problem description before I can see the popup for that and/or click it to see the auto-resolutions.

Anyone have any idea what setting I messed with that caused this so I can undo it?
Disable "Expand vertical ruler icons upon hovering" option in Windows > Preferences > Java > Editors > Hovers
Note that the change will take effect only after closing and reopening the editor.
See this bug for more details.

How can I make Codesandbox stop updating the browser preview while I type?
I turned off auto save in VS Code, but still Codesandbox updates the preview pane instantly, all the time, showing long lists of syntax errors while I'm working on the code.
Never mind, I finally discovered the Preferences item on the right. Same icon as Configuration item on the left. That may have caused the confusion...
Click top-left Icon
File > Preferences > CodeSandbox Settings
In the Dialog click the Preview tab (in the left side pane)
Uncheck Preview on edit
It's funny the dialog's name is very inconsistent with the menu item's name which had opened it.
This is what the eclipse editor border hover is supposed to look like:
But someone messed around with our company eclipse preferences (and left the company). With our current settings the hover looks like this:
So you need to hover over the problem icon and then over again over the icon in the popup. That feels unwieldy.
Couldn't find something in the eclipse settings nor on google. Any idea how to change this setting back to the default behaviour?
Eclipse version: 2020-06 (4.16) (this problem occured in any version from Neon on where the colleague created the preferences with)
In Window > Preferences: Java > Editor > Hovers uncheck the checkbox Expand vertical ruler icons upon hovering (does not effect open editors) and close and reopen all open Java editor for that.
Recently (it seems), my Eclipse Mars (for Java) began showing an add breakpoint icon when I hover over warning icons in the vertical ruler. This requires me to move my mouse twice to actually see the warning, which is annoying because I don't need the add a breakpoint icon there.
Is there a way to hide the add a breakpoint icon with every warning? I don't know where to look in the preferences window.
You can either switch to a new IDE (like the new Eclipse Neon IDE) or use the "skip all breakpoints" button:

Eclipse Luna Help says to "unlock the toolbar by right clicking the toolbar and selecting the Lock the Toolbars menu item." However, when I right click the toolbar, no options at all are displayed. Any ideas how to proceed?
Sometimes the 'Theme' and 'Color and Font theme' are not selected in Window - Preferences - General - Appearance. See the print:
After selecting them and restarted Eclipse, The toolbars are unlocked.
Not really sure why it doesn't show up in the right click menu as the documentation suggests, but you can access the Lock the Toolbars command from quick access menu (CTRL+3).
However that doesn't seem to have any effect and there is and open bug report for that, so this functionality is probably currently broken.
Whenever the Eclipse quick fix dialogue pops up, all options are visible, but as soon as the mouse is moved to the dialogue the bottom option is hidden by a button saying "Configure Annotation Preferences". To see the bottom option again I will need to scroll down in the dialogue. This happens even if there is only one option in the pop up.
I find this very annoying, since I'm more likely to select a quick fix option than to change some preferences. (Am I the only one?:))
How can I get rid of the button, or at least get the dialogue to resize itself so no options are hidden?
I'm runnig Juno on Ubuntu_64, v12.04.
Change the preference Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Text Editors -> When mouse moved into hover to "Enrich on click" to work around the issue. Works fine for me on the same Ubuntu setup.
Be warned that this only works for hovers which don't need to be scrolled. If scrolling is necessary to see the content at the bottom, then either clicking into the popup or scrolling with the mouse wheel will still bring up that configuration button. To make this less of a problem, you may want to configure your Java, Lint or other plugins contributing quick fixes to ignore certain types of problems (which you never fix).
