Files containing a single very long line are a known issue with Scintilla because a lot of its work happens on the visible lines, which in this case is the whole file. This is unlikely to change, its not what it was designed for and its not the common use-case its optimised for.
You can try setting the filetype `Document->Set Filetype->None` to see if it has any noticable effect. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2675#issuecomment-735010085
