Indeed. For Geany it's the same basically.
You can change the background colour of the line ending character boxes
by changing the foreground colour in the "default" style in
filetypes.python.
For C, changing the "default" style in filetypes.c would only change
the background colour of the boxes on lines where the last character
has the style whitespace (as John said). If the last character of the
line had a different style, e.g. for comment then this style's
foreground colour is used for the box' background colour.

But as John also said, this is a Scintilla bug/feature/whatever.

Enrico
