Annoyingly Wide Left Gutter In IntelliJ 15

I see something in IntelliJ 15 that I've never seen before, and I don't know how to make it stop.

The left gutter, where breakpoints, line numbers, version control annotations, etc. are rendered, is several inches wide in my upgraded IntelliJ 15. The bottom scroll bar stops at the border as well. I can't find anything in general settings to make it stop.

Is this a new "feature" in IntelliJ 15? Can anyone tell me how to tell the IDE to go back to a rational width and stop wasting all my screen space?

Where is the gutter in Intellij?

Gutter icons are located in the editor on the left. They invoke some basic actions and other framework- and technology-specific features. Use the Gutter Icons page in Settings/Preferences to hide or show icons in the gutter.

A bug has been filed for this exact situation: IDEA-148002:

The left border is too wide, find no option to make it thinner.

This affects version 15 of IntelliJ IDEA (143.381). As for now, there are no fix version and no comments, so it looks like you will have to wait for that bug to be taken into account...


This change is probably due to the addition of new buttons inside the gutter, as mentioned in the release notes:

Running Applications via Gutter Icon

Now you can set up a Run/Debug configuration for any class (that has a main method) and launch it with just one click
