Breakpoint can not be put over line numbers

Problem

The Breakpoint can only be shown at same line as line number, but cannot be put over line numbers. There is no option to set breakpoint over line number.

Cause

"Breakpoint over Line Number" is the configuration with New UI, if you are using Classic UI (old UI), then this feature is not available.

Solution

• Switch to New UI

For IDEs with or newer than the 2024.2 version: navigate to Settings | Plugins, find Classic UI plugin, and disable it:

For IDEs older than 2024.2 version: Enable the New UI via Settings | Appearance & Behavior | New UI:

• Then right-click line number | Appearance | Breakpoints Over Line Numbers:
