Hello all:
I was giving Geany a try on my NetBSD machines. It compiled and ran on both an Athlon XP and my Alpha on the first try with no warnings - good job on the portability!
The trouble came with actually using it. The editor window shows up black on black, and when highlighting anything it stays black.
As far as I can tell, everything else works perfectly - the scratch pad, symbol browser, even the text inside the window is being written correctly as you can see an effect with line numbers after a click and drag.
I doubt Scintilla is the issue as SciTE works on both machines. I suspect something simple but subtle and I'm uncertain where to start looking.
Oh, and for reference, both machines have GTK+/Glib 2.8.16.
