Extra horizontal blank space in the editor?

(1/2) > >>

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is some way to remove the extra blank space to the right of the last character in the composition frame of the editor.  For example, I try to keep my lines under 80 characters long.  However, there's probably about 250 characters worth of empty space beyond my longest line (and yes, I turned on invisible characters to make sure I didn't have a long line of whitespace!).

I thought that the "Automatically determine the width of the horizontal scrollbar" might be what I was looking for, but this appears to do nothing in all the documents I've looked at.

In an ideal composition pane, I would be using the size of the horizontal scrollbar to gauge how badly a particular file is breaking my 80 character convention.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you see the same problem in sCiTe or any other editor based on Scintilla?

I just installed SciTE to check and, yes, I am seeing a (probably) identical issue there.

If the issue is the same in scite, you should talk to the scintilla people.

Codeblocks uses wxScintilla for the editor, which uses or it is based on the scintilla component.

Okay, I will do that.  Thanks.

Out of curiosity, though, since I'm assuming this is not the intended behavior, what is the intended behavior?
