Lol, that was me, complaining about the windows sizes, in https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063. I messed with it a little bit back then, as a proof of concept, but havent found the time to dive into it. Honestly, I just kept using 1.36.
However, I recently got a new work machine, and because of another issue I raised in https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2555, geany 1,36 and 1.37 crash a lot. Basically, if my computer is inactive for more than a few minutes, once the screensaver kicks in and turns the monitors off, windows randomly decides to "disconnect" them, until I wiggle my mouse and wake it up, and I can see windows "rejiggling" my windows back. This makes geany 1.36 crash multiple times a day on this new machine. "Because windows". Rather, because "older version of GTK" (but its so much more fun to blame winderz). Something about, in the millisecond that winderz is trying to remap the monitor space, it decides to advertise a 0, or negative, resolution, which makes GTK freak out (#justwindowsthings). It doesnt happen all the time, just sometimes
The crash itself is annoying enough, but if I left a program running from geany, on relaunch, geany opens a new window for every file (also mentioned in 2555), unless I close my program, which is annoying to do several times a day.
1.38 seems to resolve the crash issue, because its built on a new version of GTK. I dont like the new look, but I know i can reskin it to be "better". Maybe not exactly how it used to be, but I messed with ones that are leaps and bounds better than the default, certainly passable
But functionality changes, with the scroll wheel.... Ahhh!!!!! I've been using geany for 12 years (Love it, seriously, best editor ever). Its all baked into my fingers at this point. I'm not sure my muscle memory can learn new changes haha
I'll see if I can follow https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/crosscompile (I'm a linux guy, stuck using winderz for work), when I get spare time
I'll also try out the document list. Its dense, like I like it, but still no scroll.......
Thanks elextr!
