Remove breakpoints from field in Notepad ++?

Question

I often select lines by clicking the line number in a field in Notepad ++, but often clicked a little to the right of the number, which sets a breakpoint instead of selecting a line. I never use breakpoints in Notepad ++, so I'm looking for how to remove breakpoints from a field so that I don't accidentally click on it all the time.

Notepad ++ has bookmarks, not breakpoints. They are useful sometimes because you can set them and use F2 or Shift + F2 to move between them.

You can disable them in the settings → Editing by unchecking the “Show bookmarks” checkbox, which will delete the column next to line numbers.
