I have geany 1.38 installed from debian repository. I would use it more but there is no horizontal scrollbar for some reason, so it makes some editing slow. Any way to turn that back on? or is it a bug I should file? Thanks

The horizontal scrollbar does not show if wrapping is on since it is impossible for any line to exceed the window width in that case.

No I have wrapping turned off and there's definitely long lines here. My mouse has one of those scroll wheels that has a left and right click and it will scroll (slowly) if I hold down the center button.

Tried turning wrapping on (Editor > Features) but it didn't actually wrap any of the lines, so something strange is going on for sure.

If you mean in preferences, that is the default for newly opened files, it won't change already open files because the user may have set wrapping for individual files with `Document->Line Wrapping`.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying that. When I activated that option, the lines definitely wrap and there is no horizontal scrollbar. However when I turn the option back off and get long lines again, still no horizontal scrollbar.

Well, unless somebody on the same platform has the same problem its hard to say why.

Weird.

I saw in that debug output is the config directory `~/.config/geany` so just tried deleting that to start with default options. Still no horizontal scrollbar.

Also saw in `~/.config/geany` the actual config file and in there is option `show_editor_scrollbars=true` so tried changing that to `false` and it did get rid of the vertical scrollbar. But when I turned it back to `true` just the vertical scrollbar comes back.

...

there is option show_editor_scrollbars=true

Yes, that is the setting `Edit->Preferences->Various->editor.show_editor_scrollbars`.

I presumed that would have no effect as your vertical scrollbar was visible.

Aha! Finally found the culprit. After noticing no horizontal scrollbar in another app, I began to think it must be something system-wide. I haven't done _too_ much modification at that level, but I remember a while back I added some some GTK CSS modifications in `~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css`. Eventually found some settings that were matching against `paned *` and when I took that out, _voila!_ my horizontal scrollbars are back!
