First I test building geany, I'm not famillar with C stuff or compiling
code, and I success compiling with GTK3 \o/
First, I do with github master branch + adding manually your fix -->
everything is OK really cool
For comparison purpose I do it again without the fix and horizontal
scroll won't work ! so it's exactly the problem

Thanks for this catch !

Also while compiling geany I follow github readme so I type "make
install" !Now I have two binary in my system /usr/bin &&
/usr/local/bin/, for other compiling test I just type make and use the
binary in geany/src/ .
Any advice for cleaning my environment ? What's the better way to use
this fixed geany or when a fix will be released ?
