[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Reduce minimum-width of Replace dialog (#1762)

I use Geany's **Replace** dialog by default (bound to CTRL-F).
It is not very nice to use on a small screen as it is very wide
and either blocks some code or it blocks my list of files.

I think it should be vertically oriented to minimise this disruption.

The PR reduces the minimum-width of the **Replace** dialog by
37% on my laptop screen.

Even if you do not like it then please consider the first commit on its own.

This could be further improved by putting the 6 buttons at the bottom in rows of 2,
and perhaps putting the regex options in their own GtkExpander.

Any approved changes can then be copied to the **Find** dialog.

What do you think?
