I am using Intellij Idea 14.1.3 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Often, while debugging, I want to introduce a break point by clicking on the left margin (called the 'gutter' in Intellij). The problem is that on many lines, there is no space to click. No matter how I try, the click happens on an icon already present ... which is not what I want to do. Attached a screenshot to show this
How can I increase the gutter width so that there is some empty space even where the little green override symbols are present?
It doesn't seem there is a way to configure the gutter size, it just resizes dynamically. I'd suggest raising an issue in the issue tracker.
As a workaround you can set a breakpoint on any line via the editor window. Set the caret on the line to stop at, and press ⌘+F8 (on a Mac).
This appears to be fixed in some future release of IntelliJ:

in Intellij Idea on mac, I wanted to remove the extra lint warning yellow marker lines from the scrollbar (still wanted to keep the red & green markers), but upon applying, ALL lines disappeared, so I reenabled all warnings (in editor->inspections) but still nothing on the scrollbar.
How do I get those warnings back?
PS: I should mention the scrollbar is now transparent such that it overlays the code window. It wasn't before so I think resetting that might fix the problem
You can restore to defaults by clicking the cog icon like down below.
It's important to check the Stripe Mark Settings in the Color Scheme. Stripe Marks are responsible for the little colored boxes in the vertical scrollbar of the Editor.

I'm trying to make this IDE more easy to "perceive" and it would be nice to save vertical space since I want to see both code and terminal at the same sime with biggest area possible. I know I waste space with lines sidebar and other things but let's do one step at a time...
So, do you know how to remove tools sidebard from Run window? Thanks.
If you click the gear icon on the right upper corner, you will see Show toolbar in the list. You may use it to enable/disable toolbar. The screenshot may explain it better.
i am really annoyed by weird caret / cursor behaviour inside IntelliJs editor.
The caret sometimes get stuck at some line at the beginning. If you try to navigate by arrow-keys or something else despite the mouse when this happens, the caret will instantly jump back to the previous position. Only way to set it free is to click with the mouse somewhere else in the editor window.
In addition to it, if the caret is stuck and you scroll, the caret moves the same amount of lines you scroll in the editor and will select all text on its way.
So the question is: what can i do about it?

I'd like to increase the size of the bar on the right side of the Editor in IntelliJ IDEA. It's simply way too small for my taste.
It is the bar where the warnings or usages are displayed.
P. S.: The bar is called Error Stripe.
I agree, the scrollbar is far to small, and hard to see.
Another option you could try is installing the "CodeGlance" plugin which adds a full view of the code and makes scrolling far more intuituve.
Grab it from (as of 15-04-27) https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7275?pr=clion
Press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + / and select Registry... from the menu that appears.
Look for editor.full.width.scrollbar and tick the box on the right. The change should take effect after clicking the close button. The width of the scroll bar should be marginally wider, it's not a lot but every little bit helps :-)
Unfortunately this setting only affects the scroll bar on the right of the editor window. All the other scroll bars are unaffected.
For those that find transparency effects annoying then look for editor.transparent.scrollbar and untick the box on the right. This change should take effect after clicking the close button and restarting IntelliJ.
It seems like it – or the scrollbar as a whole – can't be resized.
You could scroll to the bottom of the bars properties in the GUI section and change the width to example (100dp). Or you could play around with the XML file that contains the width and height property.
I am using JEdit on two Ubuntu systems (12.4, 10.4) and having an issue with vertically-split window.
When I resize the whole JEdit window, two side-by-side split panes resize proportionally on one system (10.4) but on the other system the left pane stays a fixed size and all changes to overall window width get applied to only the right pane.
Both are JEdit v 4.4.2, both have only plugins: jdiff and buffertabs.
Is there a setting to turn weighting or proportional resize on?
Thanks!
UPDATE: This appears to be related to the JDiff plugin. The proportional resize stops working after you turn jdiff 'dual diff' on and then off. JDiff causes the panels to be set to equal sizes; when you turn off dual diff, the original proportions are restored but proportional resize is broken.
This indeed seems to be a bug in the JDiff plugin that changes some property of the SplitPane and doesn't restore it if there were splits before already. Maybe it shouldn't change that property after all, but use the same setting for proportional resizes. You should report this to the Plugin Bugs Tracker: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=588&atid=565475
As a work-around you can just unsplit and resplit the window, then the SplitPane is setup correctly again.
