[Geany-Users] Can't Resize Panels Within Geany for Past Several Months

[Lex Trotman]

Hi,

It depends on the GTK theme you are using which sets handle size and
appearance.  On my Mint dark pane handles are effectively invisible
and the only way to know if the cursor is in a position to move the
handle is when the cursor changes to a double headed left/right arrow.
This change happens near but not exactly where I would expect it to,
just to the right of the sidebar scroll bar, but that impression may
be due to an offset in that cursor icon. Same for the vertical pane
handle.  Try fishing about in the area I described.

Cheers
Lex

For the past several months, maybe going back to late 2018, I have not been able to resize the divider between the sidebar panel and the main editor panel. Nor can I raise the divider that I think is still at the bottom of the Geany window to expose the command-line console. I used to be able to do those things. I don't get the pointer icon change when I move the mouse over where a divider would be.

It would be nice to be able to move the panel dividers again, but obviously it's working pretty well without. Geany is a very good editor. It was great for my Python programming, which ended before this issue began. Maybe the Void Linux package is screwy, a technical term I know. I am not knowledgeable about compiling software, which could explain why I don't use FreeBSD. I am ignorant about compilation configuration settings, which I suppose has to do with architectural ignorance and whatnot.

I want to know if anyone else on Linux is having this problem with the dividers, or is not, and with the display of the presumed arrow icons on the tab left and tab right buttons, or not.
