Hi Thomas,
sorry for the delay.
Back to topic: The split window plugin behaves very weird on my machine. The changelog reads that it should be at least usable for viewing, but it isn't.
Since words doesn't explain as much as pictures, I've made a screenshot: http://www.alice-dsl.net/simonemartitz/asdf/GeanySwBug.jpg
Unfortunately, I can reproduce this and it's really weird.
It seems there is a bug in GTK with widget reparenting on Windows, not sure though. I tried to fix that and it seems to be working now in SVN r3161. I uploaded an updated DLL for the plugin:
Forget this. I didn't fix it but only broke it in another way :(. This way the splitting was working on Windows but it brought back the old bugs with broken primary selection (might be not that bad on Windows but still) and wrong mouse cursor on Windows. I currently have no idea how to fix this properly. I think there are two possibilities: - fix Scintilla so that widgets can be reparented - find out what is causing this weird behaviour on Windows and ideally fix it
Both possibiliies would require at a first step reporting the problems to Scintilla resp. GTK. In the meantime I'd suggest to not use the plugin on Windows. Yes, yet another limitation for Windows, patches are welcome.
Deleted.
