Hi Matthew, Couple of questions to check I'm reading it right 1. isn't copying the entire buffer (sci_get_contents copies the whole file into a malloced buffer) on each change a bit heavy if the file is not tiny 2. you are changing indicators (calling scan_extra_items) in a SCN_MODIFIED notification, but scintilla explicitly states "No modifications may be performed while in a SCN_MODIFIED event" Cheers Lex > _______________________________________________ > Geany mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
