The problem is that search results overlap and make it hard to see whether I've set a break point or not. Any ideas how to remedy this? I can't seem to find a customizable order of which symbols are displayed on the vertical ruler.

Found a workaround: set the Annotation for Breakpoints to include a "vertical bar". This will place a thin vertical line to the left of the line with the breakpoint. Good enough I guess.

I am trying to remove this line from my Netbeans editor view. I have no clue what it's for, and I find it disturbing.
How can I remove it? (Can't find it in color settings)
Here's a picture:
You have to set the right margin setting to 0.
how can I change the color of a single line in Eclipse to be able to find it fast while scrolling ? many people are suggesting to download eclipse themes but I am interested in changing the color of a single line to be able to re-find it faster
You can leave this little comment in that line:
// TODO
A small blue rectangle will be shown next to the scrollbar (the same way as your errors and warnings), and you will be able to instanlty find that line by clicking on it.
I'm have reinstalled my emacs and now I'm using emacs v24.3.50 with auto-complete v1.4 and popup.el v0.5. Unfortunately the popup "menu" of auto-complete is kinda broken (see attached screenshot).
The different items are not aligned along a commong vertical line [ignore the black overlay, that stems from CEDET and is probably meant to be placed on the right side next to the popup menu; the problem remains when disabling CEDET, so it is not related).
From what I can tell it looks like the extent of this "shift" between lines depends on how much the length of the strings differs. Also, when selecting a different suggestion using the arrow keys the horizontal shift of the lines changes a little (~few pixels) each time the mark is moved one line up/down.
I have uploaded the part of my .emacs.d/init.el that is used for configuring auto-complete here.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
It appears you are using a proportional font, which breaks the calculation of the left edge of the overlay.
You can try changing the way auto-complete computes the column:
(setq popup-use-optimized-column-computation nil)
You can also change to a fixed width font.
Note that some other completion systems for Emacs can use tooltips instead of overlays, which would avoid this problem.
is there any plugin for eclipse to add some space below the code so that I can scroll the last line up to half the screen / up to the top? I hate it when the line I am writing on is always on the bottom of my screen.
Of course, I could add these lines myself, but that would also mean that I have to remove them later, and I don't feel comfortable with so many empty lines...
If there is no such plugin, would it be easy to write one?
I suggest as you are saying adding these lines manually and in the end hit Ctrl+Shift+F to format your code which also includes removing those empty lines at the bottom.
I have Eclipse 3.7.1 classic, with added Android plugin and HTML editor plugin.
If I have a long line of text in the HTML editor and scroll the horizontal scrollbar to where I want to be, when I place the cursor there and start to type, after a short pause it keeps resets the horizontal scrollbar to the far left. It doesn't do it all the time, but it is frequent enough to be annoying.
Why is Eclipse doing this, and how can I stop it?
Not really an answer but I have the same Problem since yesterday. I don't know the cause or any solution but ende up splitting all my lengthy strings using either "\" or "+". That "fixed" the problem and resulted and better readability of the code.
Good Day

In my case this started happening after installing the Coffee Bytes Java Folding extension/plugin, and eventually it just annoyed me so much I turned it off...and the scroll jumping stopped.
It was a shame because I wanted folding of 'Regions' like in .Net and that extension gave me that ability. I've not looked for an alternative yet, but anyway I'm rambling - see if you have this extension enabled under Preferences > Java > Editor > Folding.
When this happens to me, the problem is that I'm not steady enough in my line selection. So I'll briefly be selecting two lines of input. And when the other line of input is shorter or even empty, it resets to the rightmost edge of that line (which if empty is the far left). Being very careful when moving horizontally can work but is difficult to maintain. Perhaps turning down the mouse sensitivity would help.
Searching for "eclipse line wrap" found that Alt Shift Y turns line wrap on and off. There also seems to be a button on the toolbar. See Does Eclipse have line-wrap for more details.
As others have noted, changing so that the lines aren't wider than the window also fixes this. But when you're in a situation where someone else sets the line length, toggling line wrap can be a quick and easy solution to this problem.
This of course assumes that you are having the same problem as me and not something caused by a plugin or other issue.
