Hi Geany lovers,
I have a very annoying bug in geany...its has to do with autocompletion.
I have a dark theme.
When autocompletion activate to show me the list of options, the box is to small, I cant see all options, and i can't even see more than 10chars per option, this is a problem, the box dosn't scale automatically, and in some struct members you can't see them, you don't know who is who, if they have similar names... :S,
I've noticed similar weird scaling issues, especially if you start with a smallish font size set, and then zoom in a lot, the autocomplete doesn't resize, but for me it's only the vertical auto-complete item height that fails to match the font size, like this:

Not sure if that's the same thing as you have.
I am using debian amd64, with mate desktop.my window manager is the standard MARCO based on methacity from gnome2.. I have even a diferent situation :S
I am using the previous release of Geany 1.23.1, and not the last one, I don't know if changed something about this?
with normal size of text: http://i.imgur.com/QNYg2FC.png
with scalled size of text: http://i.imgur.com/7kOGCRm.png
like you see i have no issues with the scalled image...apart from do not get all in the screen cuz is too big lol
With normal text, auto-complete should find the size of the biggest element or something and scalle acordingly imho...
My theme is vibrant colours, or ink colours...is something that I found , and it turns out to be more visible with my eyes :)
The colors of the box is white :S, not the same color has the backgroud of IDE, or the theme used...
That part is controllable by themes, although there's some bug somewhere that colors can get stuck even if you change themes. For example if you activate the Retro theme (which is one of few that changes theme dramatically of autocomplete box), and then change to another theme, it gets stuck on the Retro one and never resets.
if there is some directive to auto-complete foreground and background it would be nice, or the Autocomplete box, could get the foreground and background colours of the theme ;)
well, with this I already discovered that with scalling editor, I should be able to see the several items, its not ideal, but better than nothing :)
thanks to Mathew and Lex :)
cheers, tux
