+ +	+ Scintilla + and SciTE +

+ Bugs and To Do List +

+ Scintilla Bugs +

+ At the end of italics style runs characters can be chopped off. An example is using Verdana + 12 point italics for strings makes an ending double quote half visible and an ending single + quote invisible. This is hard to solve completely, may be better to avoid these situations + by, for example, choosing a font like Times New Roman for strings. +

+ Dragging over bold text in some fonts will ripple because of the difference in size between + drawing all of a string at once and drawing it in parts. +

+ SciTE Bugs +

+ There has been a report of SciTE exiting as soon as the mouse is moved over it when launched + Start | Run. I have seen this once but can not find a way to reproduce it. +

+ One person has seen excessive waits (20 seconds) when using the file open dialog and + changing to the top directory. +

+ Windows Version Bugs +

+ No memory for input fields in find and replace dialogs. +

+ GTK+ Version Bugs +

+ No DBCS support. +

+ Scintilla To Do +

+ Simple pattern based styling. +

+ Line wrapping. +

+ Different height lines based upon tallest text on the line rather than on the tallest style + possible. +

+ COM control version on Windows +

+ Make GTK+ version be more consistent with other GTK+ widgets. +

+ Printing support on GTK+. Maybe Postscript output or use Gnome? +

+ Unicode (UCS 2). +

+ Stream folding which could be used to fold up the contents of HTML elements. +

+ SciTE To Do +

+ More lexers: IDL, and Delphi. Make the subset Perl lexer understand more Perl. +

+ Regular expressions in find functions. +

+ Smart indenting, based on the file syntax. +

+ Printing on GTK+. +

+ Directions +

+ The main point of this development is Scintilla, and this is where most effort will go. + SciTE will get new features, but only when they make my life easier - I am not intending to + make it grow up to be a huge full-function IDE like Visual Cafe. The lines I've currently + decided not to step over in SciTE are any sort of project facility and any configuration + dialogs. +

+ If you are interested in contributing code, do not feel any need to make it cross platform. + Just code it for your platform and I'll either reimplement for the other platform or ensure + that there is no effect on the other platform. +
