I find it very difficult to click on the gutter icons to get the context menu that allows me to trigger ncrunch actions.

Would it be possible to make the hit-detection area a bit bigger? It seems like one has to be over the pixels of the icon; the background does not appear to be clickable (which makes it especially difficult for me to click "break into first failing test" on the red-x'd line icons).

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried changing the 'Coverage marker style' setting in the global configuration? The size of the marker is also determined by its shape. If you choose the largest marker (Rectangle) the hitbox will expand accordingly - at least, it will for the non-X markers.

Cheers,

Remco

Hi Remco

I hadn't. I tried it, but that doesn't help much. I've seen that with rectangles, the outline of the rectangle is hittable, but the internal is not. When I hover over the internal, the cursor swaps from a pointer to a caret, and the click falls through to the editor rather than the icon.

Having experimented, the vertical line is the most clickable - but still not very.

Cheers
Pete

Thanks Pete. This doesn't sound like behaviour by design. Which version of Visual Studio are you running? Do you have any other plugins installed?

Would you be able to try disabling the following plugins to see if this makes any difference?

-Code Alignment 9.0
-Indent Guides 13

Also, when working in the editor, do you usually operate at a zoom level that isn't 100%? Does zooming in very closely give you any detailed information about how the hitboxes are arranged over the markers?

I've disabled those two extensions; no difference.

If I zoom in (I usually use size 10 Consolas within a 2560x1440 resolution) to 177%, I can see that the hitbox follows the icon outline instead of the rectangle that the icon is limited by. The cursor still turns into a caret when it's over the inside of the icon.

According to your description, this is definitely defective behaviour. The contents of the rectangle marker itself should be clickable, and unfortunately this seems to be the case in all of my test environments. This may be a very difficult issue to track down as I feel that there is something in your environment that is causing this difference in behaviour. I'm wondering if there may be some steps we can take to try and narrow down why this is happening.

Does the rectangle marker have a solid fill?

Do you have any colleagues that use NCrunch in a similar environment? If so, do they also experience this issue?

Do you, by chance, have VS2010 installed? If so, does NCrunch display the same behaviour in this version of Visual Studio?

Do you have any other installed products or custom UI configuration that could be considered unusual?

I experienced a similar but slightly different issue before: Markers of some tests are completely not clickable.

It was fixed by following Remco's instruction:

1. Uninstall NCrunch;
2. Reboot and run 'devenv.exe /setup' to reset the VS extension cache;
3. Reinstalling NCrunch;

Hi Peter -

Yang's suggestion has a good chance of solving this problem. As you have a number of extensions installed, it's possible that there are inconsistent overlaps inside VS's adornment layers caused by erroneous caching and/or extension clashing. Reinstalling NCrunch can reset the adornment layers and may solve the issue. I'm eager to hear if this does the trick.

Peter, I'm wondering if we can take this issue off the forum for the time being so that I can issue you with a diagnostic build to find out why this is behaving so strangely on your system.

Would you be able to get in touch via the Contact form with an address I can use to contact you? I hope to have something ready for you to try out in the coming week. Please do let me know if this would work for you.


Cheers,

Remco

For anyone interested, Peter managed to find that the indicator hit boxes were being impeded by the visible whitespace being turned on in Visual Studio. The rendered whitespace tends to sit on top of the markers, making them hard to click. If you experience this problem, please turn off visible whitespace in Visual Studio.
