It's a wxScintilla feature request, not a Code::Blocks one.
This has little to do with wxScintilla, as the width of the margin can be set arbitrarily by the application.
Great, I didn't know.
As an example of a Scintilla based applicatin which does it differently, SciTE adjusts the margin width dynamically, which I perceive extremely disturbing.
Thanks for the info, I find "extremely disturbing" not setting the width dynamically and always wondered why it wasn't behaving like SciTE (that's why I thought it was wxScintilla...)
However, I see no reason why we should change the width in the code base or make it runtime-configurable.
The above and this very thread is a good reason now. :wink:
It is good as it is for most people, and not every property has to be configurable just for the sake of tweaking.
I agree that not every property has to be configurable just for the sake of tweaking (in fact I would preffer dynamically adjusting it without any option to disable it), but I strongly disagree about the "It is good as it is for most people" part.
So, it's personal preference, not everyone haves to like everything you like. In those cases is where an option is the right thing.
Thank you for your patience.
