When the line numbers are disabled, and the cursor is on the line where I want to create a breakpoint, and there is a code hint available, it is impossible to set a breakpoint on that line. See attached picture for more graphic description. I don't know what UI design should be implemented to be able to use both the hint bulb and the breakpoints, but it's definitely a UI defect. And please don't make the margin wider, it's already takes so much place.

You can right click on bulb and choose breakpoint.
Comment 2 iii 2015-08-18 05:06:59 UTC 
This is sounds more like a workaround, because it takes more action than a single click.
Comment 3 Milutin Kristofic 2015-08-19 12:56:38 UTC 
What are you suggesting then? I think it is very good workaround. I don't want to increase margin.
Comment 4 iii 2015-08-19 13:08:00 UTC 
May be add "Set breakpoint here" entry to the code hints list?
Comment 5 Milutin Kristofic 2015-08-19 13:10:06 UTC 
That is really same number of actions as right click on bulb. I don't want to mix hints with breakpoints
Comment 6 iii 2015-08-19 13:16:30 UTC 
It would take less for me, as I usually click on the margin and see code hints list, and then, confused, try to remember my shortcut for toggling breakpoint. I guess I should learn to use right click more often.
