0.5 fringe overlay doesn't work well with linum-mode and flymake on Emacs HEAD about flycheck HOT 6 CLOSED

What is “fringe linum mode”? Please tell me the exact package and function for this mode, and where to find its source.

The error indicator is displayed by Flycheck itself, see C-h v flycheck-error-indicator and C-h v flycheck-warning-indicator.

from flycheck.

Btw, by default flymake does not place any error markers in the fringe. You must have installed an additional mode that does this, but this will obviously not work anymore now that Flycheck does not use Flymake anymore.

Please tell me what mode this is, and I may look into its implementation to re-implement that feature in Flycheck.

I have found the fringe-helper library which implements such fringe icons, and hacked something the like in the fringe-icons branch. Please install flycheck from this branch and check whether that is what you want.

If so, I may follow this idea and merge the feature.

from flycheck.

Flycheck now adds fringe icons instead of text indicators. From b3b7d04 onwards it should look somewhat similar to your first screenshot out-of-the-box.

Remove any additional modes you installed for flymake.

Of course, feel free to re-open if it doesn't match your needs.

Thanks for the quick fix! I don't have any flymake package installed. I think the error indicator is a new thing in Emacs 24.3. The error indicator now appears at the right place with is good but there's 2 little problems. See issue #34 and issue #35.
