Jan Claeys:

I have no idea about the internal working of Scintilla so this might be
a dumb question, but isn't it possible to make the lexers cut the _same_
style every n chars?

  The lexer just creates an array of style bytes that correspond to
the document bytes. There is nothing to say that there should be a
break in the middle of a run of style x. There can also be problems
with handling multi-byte characters, accents, ligatures and kerning if
the application decides to break display or measurement periodically.
