A Scintilla bug fixed five years ago? Hex digits in a text file is obtuse? No software is perfect but there's probably better criticism out there.

A Scintilla bug fixed five years ago? Hex digits in a text file is obtuse? No software is perfect but there's probably better criticism out there.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThe issue was closed, but that is not the same as being fixed.
- digisign 5y agoThe root problem it seems is that some fonts are out of spec, and there's a workaround: [styling] line_height=0;2; I recommend Source Code Pro which is a great programming font and apparently doesn't have the problem, since I've never actually seen it.
- kzrdude 5y agoif the often-default font is "out of spec" then the software has a problem they should mitigate somehow. Maybe pick a different default font if they can. I saw this underscore problem as soon as I installed Geany.
- digisign 5y agoWas a problem for a few years on some Linux distros, should all be fixed now. Wasn't even their bug. Workaround was trivial, increase the line height. Let's focus on something slightly more interesting.
- kzrdude 5y agoOk, but I installed Geany today (to try it out) and it had that bug, so I mean, it's still out there.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoIf they can't even be bothered to listen to bug reports for such a simple and important thing then I have very little trust in their project. This has been a bug for years after they closed the issue and as far as I am aware they are the only software to have ever had a problem with these supposedly out of spec fonts that are still the default on some popular distributions.
- digisign 5y agoYou sound entitled, honestly. I'm sure this brand new project has no bugs whatsoever, right?
