eclipse now shows "add breackpoint" when hovering over an error

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
