Description
Two times the same icon. One action is to enable filtering of terminal rules, the other action will show / hide the return types. The icon does not make much sense for either of these actions.

Research direction
Start from the Xtext outline actions shown in the issue screenshot: the terminal-rule filtering toggle and the return-type visibility toggle. Locate the icon definitions or UI entry points for both actions and determine how they can use distinct, meaningful icons. Done means the two actions are visually distinguishable and their purposes are clear.
