:-) and how do you feel when each line has three sentences in it as it
streaches interminabley across your widescreen...

This is a question to which there is no right answer, or alternatively
all answers are right for someone, we each have a valid opinion based
on our own preferences.  The best the creators of Geany can do is
provide some flexibility and hope it suits the majority of people.

Oh, and I'm not sure I quality as a younger person, I was programming
computers pre-Unix, thats right pre-Thomson & Ritchie Unix, not
pre-Linux.

Cheers
