Decorations with gutter icons hide breakpoint icons

• VSCode Version: 1.0.0
• OS Version: any

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a decoration type window.createTextEditorDecorationType({ gutterIconPath: ... }); with an icon, decorate a line.
2. Set a breakpoint for the line. While the breakpoint works, the decoration type gutter icon is completely hiding it.

Ideally, there should be a way to see both (all) icons. I’m assuming the same issue happens if two different extensions set different icons for the same line. Atom and IntelliJ platform based IDEs solve this by allowing to create a plugin specific gutter/or just extending the gutter horizontally to fit all icons.

If the above mentioned solution is not desirable for some reason, then it should probably be allowed to set a gutter icon zIndex for a decoration type. Or maybe the breakpoint icon should just take precedence and always be displayed above any extensions icons.

4 years. The issue has been here for 4 years. Am I the only one who thinks it’s crazy that this hasn’t been worked on so far? I find it quite critical.

It also works very poorly with Error Gutters: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IgorSbitnev.error-gutters
