[Desktop-packages] [Bug 505765] Re: gedit problem with long lines
Hello, I fell upon this bug and can confirm that Gedit misbehaves when dealing with a lot of spaces in a text file. I tested with the provided file the following way. When treating this string: 'CREATE TABLE people( <240 spaces here> id...' the text is displayed in the following manner CREATE TABLE people (<240 spaces here>id ... When the cursor is placed between the 'e' in 'people' and the bracket, when one hits backspace the line is not moved upwards, but the 'e' is deleted. In fact the line is never moved up one when the char is deleted. I think this is kind of weird behaviour. Can someone confirm that this is not a normal behaviour. If yes, how should gedit behave? IMHO the line should be moved up one line when between 'e' in 'people' and the bracket and when one hits backspace.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 859560] Re: Gedit line number margin doesn't scale with font size
It seems that this bug has been fixed. I am currently using Gedit 3.1O.4 in ubuntu 14.04 and the margin scales correctly. Should the status of this bug be updated ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859560 Title: Gedit line number margin doesn't scale with font size Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Invalid Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Machine: 64bit Ubuntu Ocelot with all updates applied as of 26/09/2011. The width of the Gedit line number margin (enabled in preferences) doesn't scale with the font size. I am visually impaired and thus have my gedit font size set to 16. However when I do this and press enter a few times (so I have more than 9 lines in a file) the margin isn't expanded to fit the new two digit number. When we have more than 99 lines (three digits), the margin scales correctly once more. This happens on a new setup with fresh configuration files. Steps to reproduce: 1). Open gedit 2). Change font size to 16 (probably also has issues at other sizes too). 3). Make more than 9 lines in the file.
