[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Reflow Lines/Block incorrectly treats long line marker (#2078)

[elextr]

When line breaking is on the break happens when you type in column X (where X is the setting) and counts from 1.  

And manually applied reflow is consistent with this, it breaks at the same place, which is what is expected.  That happens irrespective of which setting it uses, line breaking setting or the long line setting, same setting value X, same breaking place.  It would be a problem if the breaking happened in different places depending on which setting was used when they had the same value.

But long line marker is actually for another completely separate use which is to identify lines _longer than_ X, so the vertical line is located _after_ column X counting from 1 or sets background for the columns _after_ column X.  So it doesn't mark column X, the breaking column.

So it seems to me both cases are doing the right thing.  Perhaps the manual can be improved, feel free to propose a change via pull request if you think so.

Note the status column count is variable, you can change it to count from [zero or one](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#statusbar-templates).
