there is a bug: folding won't be available.
Workaround: change the tab to another file and then come again to the previous tab. The icons will be back.

You can try to open the file using the XML Editor from the right click:

Problem
I have problem with folding when I'm writing code in XML. Actually, when I'm writing Java code there is no problem and I can expand/collapse my codes. However, in XML there is no folding icon although it is active. In side bar (line number), I right click then I select `Folding > Enable Folding` the width of bar becomes wider but I can't see folding icon. My background of screen is black is it possible this color covers folding icon? I don't think it because of this because when I click those area nothing happens.
