Hello,

when a text in Java file of the Java view is selected (highlighted), all the
same variables in the code are highlighted, too.
When search - e. g. for references - was carried out, all matches of this
search are highlighted, too.
So far well. But there are circumstances, where the highlighting disturbs.
How can the highlighting of text be removed? Pressing [Esc] or clicking
somewhere didn't help.
Currently I use Eclipse 3.3.2.

This is refered to as Mark Occurrences. You can toggle it from the tool
bar by clicking on the icon that looks like the tip of a highlight
marker. It is also mapped by Shift-Alt-o.

That removes the highlighting of the items in the text that match whatever
your cursor is sitting on. But, is there any way to also remove the highlights
that indicate Search Results or a line of code on the debug execution stack?
Shift-Alt-O toggles only the "occurrences".

Thanks.

Brian,

Delete the search results in the search view, and the markers are gone...

Or choose not to show Search results as highlighted in the text (See
'Annotations' pref page).

Thanks. The Annotations prefs page also allows me to tone down the
Debug stack trace. I think I've been looking on the wrong prefs pages
for years now! Thanks, again.
