<p>Yes, it's accidental clicks. I've been using Scite for many years and it doesn't do this, so when selecting a line I'm used to being able to click anywhere in the line number or folds bars.</p>
<p>I switched because  lot of the syntax checkers on Scite are very out of date - CSS in particular. Mybe I should just bite the bullet and update them if this behaviour is not configurable .</p>
