Hi,

thanks for giving it a try. I've just pushed the bundle-creation project
here:

https://github.com/geany/geany-osx

and you will also need the Geany sources from here

https://github.com/techee/geany/tree/osx-integration

until they get merged to Geany.

Regarding the scrolling problem - I think it's partly related to whether
you have retina screen or not because with it the area rendered is 4x
bigger and things get slower. But it't not that bad at all, it's just not
the smooth scrolling one is used to (and one cannot quickly swipe to get
from the beginning of the 1KLOC source file to the end - acceleration
detection doesn't work with gtk with quartz backend).

If I have more time, I'd like to experiment with the Cocoa backend of
Scintilla which offers very smooth scrolling. But I'm not sure if it's
possible to combine with GTK.

Cheers,

Jiri
