[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Changing Editor line break column requires document close and reopen (#1358)

[elextr]

Ok, I can explain it, its not a bug, just a confusing interaction between settings.

The `line break column` setting is system wide or project and `long line marker` setting is system wide, but reflow switches between `line break column` and `long line marker column` depending on the per-document `line breaking` setting (this behaviour is documented).  

Since I had a project open, those documents with `line breaking` on ignored the changes to system settings of `line breaking column` and `long line marker column` and used the unchanged project value of `line breaking column` (but I was unaware at the time that it was a project setting), but closing and reopening documents turned off theper  document `line breaking` setting and made reflow in those documents use the `long line marker column` system setting instead of the `line breaking` project setting.

Very confusing, the `preferences` dialog really should indicate when a setting is being overridden by a project setting, like the `set build commands` dialog does. #1363 opened for that enhancement.
