Multiple-editors and split-screen related issues

[rocketraman]

AceJump works in a primary group, but not in a secondary group. Repro:

1. Open two files.

2. Right-click on one file's tab, select "Move Right"

3. Move to the new pane on the right.

4. Attempt to use AceJump.

Couldn't reproduce this issue. What version and IDE are you using?

[rocketraman]

I was on 2.0.9 before, but I just tried it with the recently released version 2.0.13 on 2016.2 and it is working fine now! Thanks.

Oddly enough, now the issue is back! Not sure how to reproduce it or why it seems to be a transient problem.

[rocketraman]

@breandan I think I've found a repro: make the group on the right smaller.

AceJump will stop displaying the jump letters. It still activates and jumps, but the jump cannot be controlled since the letters are not visible.

This does not affect the group on the left for some reason. Also, I cannot identify the breakpoint between the size where it works and the size where it doesn't.

[rocketraman]

BTW, this is still reproducible in the latest 3.x version of Acejump, with the exact same behavior. When the right group is small enough, acejump activates but the shortcut letters are invisible (but active).

[breandan]

I think I see what's happening here. When you make a vertical split really small, the tags become invisible, right?

I think this behavior might have something to do with the IntelliJ Platform. Does this problem happen often enough to become a major inconvenience?

[rocketraman]

Now that I understand why it is happening and how to fix it when it does, no it is not much of an inconvenience at all. However, note on my machine I don't need to make it really small in order to see this behavior. The right pane is still usable, but jumps invisible. For example, here it is working:

and partially working:

You can see the right pane is still usable from a programming perspective, and yet many jumps are invisible, so this is not an unusual situation.

[rocketraman]

Actually doing further tests, now that I realize its not an all or nothing situation, its a bigger problem than I thought. To get the e on the longest line on the right pane to show as a jump, the right pane has to be unreasonably large:

Look how large the right pane is yet the jump in the e on line 18 is not showing. Making it larger than this causes the jump for that char to work correctly.

FWIW I'm still seeing this issue in Pycharm CE 2020.1

This should be fixed in 3.7.0. Please free to give it a try and leave your feedback!

Confirmed, working well in 3.7.0! Thanks.
