without any additional external dependencies. Apart from the few 
limitations listed below I'm not aware of any problems.

are already being reviewed, some - the integration ones - I haven't 
published yet) and will make a github project with the app bundle 
creation instructions + all the necessary config files, themes, icons, 
etc. I also plan to provide OS X binaries for all the future Geany 
releases.

I have not been able to replicate the scrolling issue you have, however 
the build works fine and it saved me hours of compiling it myself from 
scratch (had an ancient 0.20 build i compiled myself years ago that i 
have used up until now) and i thank you alot for that

I am very interested in seeing a github project of this in the future. 
As it will make it possible for us geany users to keep using geany 
without any issues on OS X :)
