It should be great if the text of the failed test exception, assertion could be instantly visible on the same line with the red x marker.
It is a little bit awkward to hover over the small x to find out the problem. Specially when programming late in the night ;)
Thanks for the feedback.

You'll notice that to an extent, this is already possible. If you click on the exception X, you'll see a popup that shows the full stack trace for all covering exceptions, along with a pane down the bottom that shows the exception message.
As a side note to this, I have to say that it is very difficult for me to hover over the X to even click it.

The hit-box is quite small, and I don't think that it changes when you switch the marker style (that is, switching to the Rectangle or VerticalLine still has the same, small click area.)
The hit boxes are deliberately made to be consistent across the marker types, so that the vertical line can still be easily selected.

Is it only the X that you have trouble with? Are the other lines ok?
For me, it is all of them, but especially the vertical line. It appears as though the vertical line does not coincide with the hit-box at all.
