Eclipse runs fine, but I lost the error/warning/todo vertical bar on the right (right next to the new scroll bar). Does anyone has the same problem? Thanks!

  • If you go to General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, check if the Vertical ruler or Overview ruler checkboxes have been checked. – Hristo Jul 21 '11 at 17:51

  • I'm also seeing this problem. Just 2 cents. I'm running Indigo Build id: 20110615-0604. –  Jul 21 '11 at 20:56
  • I'm seeing this as well. Was running Helios, upgraded to Indigo to see if that was the issue, problem remains. – user3723292 Jul 21 '11 at 20:05

Same, ahhhh how do you fix this, SOOO annoying

Figured it out, if you go to system preferences > general > click the "when scrolling" button, to only show the scroll bar when scrolling it fixes it. Mine was previously on "always". I restarted eclipse and it shows the errors/warning message etc now.

    This makes no sense... If you set them to "only when scrolling" (which, in my opinion, sucks), then they always show in Eclipse, along with the error bars. – Phoebe Jul 26 '11 at 20:19

  • Oh, my, god... I owe you the cost of a new laptop, because I was about to throw mine out the window :-). – Matt Solnit Sep 26 '11 at 15:59

Now that the Eclipse team fixed the issue, you can also go to "Help" > "Check for updates" and install the platform updates. It fixed the issue without having to change the MacOS Scrollbar settings for me.
