Changed lines.

An overview of the entire file (all lines)

orange boxes are location of errors (compilation)
blue boxes are bookmark
red boxes are breakpoints
short green/yellow bits indicate changed lines (saved/unsaved) Background color indicates unit section (interface, implementation, init-/finitialization
Background also changes for current visible page of the file

It’s amazing all the functionality (information wise) in such a little widget. :)

Now all that remains is to make it clickable, so you jump to the part of the file where you clicked.

Umm, it doesn't work here. Clicking via LClick or RClick doesn't have any affect. I'm using Lazarus 1.7 r52715 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-linux-gtk 2, running under CentOS 6.6.

Maybe I should update my Lazarus?

I then tested my Lazarus 1.9.0 r54792 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-freebsd-gtk2 system, and there the overview gutter is also not clickable.

I don't know. Probably it is some OS/WS-dependent problem. On Windows10/win32 it is clickable and it has always been clickable (this is the only platform I tested)

It's clickable under Linux too.

Maybe you altered some options?

Editor options / Mouse / Advanced / Gutter / Overview

Thanks Mattias, that did the trick. I had nothing defined under the "Overview" section - both under Linux and FreeBSD.
