Hi Jiri,
I'd recommend that you send your patches as attachments, putting them in the mail body can get them wrapped.
+1, Nick also said this above.
Sorry, I can resend them again, just tell me. (I don't want to spam the mailing list too much - I have already caused a nasty email storm on your list).
And a bit more info would be cool, a short description and/or a screenshot. I hardly remember some new visual Scintilla features from the past which could be what the topic is about but I don't have the time to look it all up. And I don't know CodeBlocks. Thanks.
OK, here's a screenshot:

(Notice the green and yellow lines.) When you load the document, there are no lines. The first time you modify a line, a yellow stripe appears next to it. If you save it, it becomes green. So the screenshot can be interpreted as:
* lines 61-64 have been modified since document loading, but these are saved on the disk * lines 65-69 have been modified but have not yet been saved (have been modified after the last save) * the remaining lines haven't been edited at all
I find it pretty useful for navigation in source code because you can quickly visually see the places you have been working on.
It has been introduced by Neil as an experimental feature for scintilla two years ago:

I had a discussion with Neil whether this couldn't be merged to mainline scintilla, but he finds the current implementation "not good enough":

Despite its (in practice not visible) limitations, I find it so much useful that I decided to port it from codeblocks (which contains probably the most up-to-date version). I understand that it probably won't get merged to geany, but some people might find it useful too.
Regards,
Jiri
