[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add option for linewrapping in message window (#1383)

[elextr]

(I did not notice any impact on CPU usage though).

So long as it works on a Raspberry PI as well as your Cray :grin:
(Geany is included in Raspbian IIUC)

> when changing the setting, messages already present are not wrapped / unwrapped,
only newly printed ones.

Seems fair, this isn't the sort of setting that you flick on and off, set it when going to message win vertical and leave it there.  And you can always regenerate compiler errors.

> when resizing the window, messages already present are wrapped only until
a new line would be required (but new messages work fine)

Not sure I understand this, how can it be wrapped in any way without requiring a new line?

> I hope it's not rude to make a pull request directly without first opening a corresponding issue.

Thats ok, just with no prior discussion you don't know if any of the contributors are interested and if it will get any traction.  I personally doubt I would want this, making the C++ error novel longer is not a good idea. (my "personal best" is 3000 lines of errors for one missing character, try reading that wrapped).
