[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Problem select char counting (#1599)

[elextr]

@codebrainz yeah, Geany shows the scintilla selection count, which is the position (ie byte) difference between the anchor and the cursor.

@lep42 the "column" count is actually a glyph count, so it may not agree with the code point count for double wide Unicode characters or for combining characters where two code points makes one glyph, eg u
.

Unless you use purely ASCII
