Screenshot showing the hint dialogue appearing when clicking on the border

Hi.
When I want to place a new debug breakpoint to a line, I usually have the problem, that there appears one of those coding hints which are very annoying in this case. Because then I have to click right on the left border and choose "Breakpoint" -> "Toggle line breakpoint"... for a lazy developer like me (and I think any other developer) these are two clicks too much ^^

It would be really nice if the Hint-Interaction would only appear if you really click directly on the little light.

You can see this on the attached screenshot.


Thank you very much in advance.

It's an issue of upper infrastructure. Reassigning as P3 Enhancement (it annoys me as well ;).

Should be much better in NetBeans 7.2.
