STILL LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER

@AnneRanch said in What is this... how to get rid of it ?:
what is it
It's called an elision indicator, and in this case indicates that some lines of code have been elided (hidden).
See how your line numbers have gone from line 100 to line 752:
So lines 101 to 751 have been elided (hidden). This usually happens when you click on a twistie chevron (see that small triangle next to the 752?).
and how do I get back to "normal editing "?
This is normal behaviour. If you mouse-over the
...you should see a preview of the content that's been elided (given it's about 650 lines, you won't see all of it). If you click the...it should reveal (no longer hide) those lines.That said, the fact that that many lines are hidden is a bit odd. I would suggest temporarily commenting out the
#ifdef LAMBDAon line 99 in case its not terminating where you think, and causing grief for Qt Creator with far more lines that Qt Creator expects (but that's just a hunch - could be completely unrelated).Cheers.

@Paul-Colby Thanks for the explanation. I did try to click on the ... and it did reveal all the hidden lines , as far desktop can show, ... but it never got back to normal editing .
The odd thing is - the editor does this at random, I have never figured out what starts the "hide the lines " process.
I am tempted to build a list of "odd features AKA problem issues " with Qt editor. Starting with endless build / rebuild when there are no changes in editor...
But since nobody cares about these " features",,, why bother...
CASE CLOSED -
@AnneRanch Looks like you are a bit grumpy. Time to take some free time. Maybe mark this topic as "solved" if it is "CLOSED". Since other users that try to help you won't waste time by reading this conversation anymore. Maybe rethink about how to talk with other humans.

@Volker75 little bit grumpy ?? This as has been an excise in futility. My posts gets moved..not solved...
Alex keeps track of my posts and seldom suggest solution... I get RTFM every other post... I get "try this instead".... your approach is unusual... when I make no changes in editor QtCreator ALWAYs build / rebuild / build / run = wasting about 30 seconds of MY life each time... YES I posted a bug !
PS it is 7 am and I am going for a walk.... -
@AnneRanch A walk is a very good idea.
