For anyone looking at this thread, it was. :)
Out of curiosity, why are you using "Scintilla for GTK on Windows"?
I mean, Scintilla is a native Windows component, so what is the interest of using the GTK+ version on this platform?
I can guess some reasons, like "I don't know (well) Windows programming while I master GTK+ coding", "For the uniformity of behaviour", "Because I want my application to be pure GTK+ to avoid having an intermediate platform layer" or similar stuff...
I wonder if GTK+ has evolved much these last years. I used to use, two or three years ago, Ethereal which is pure GTK+ running on Windows, and I wasn't overly pleased by its look-and-feel. More by the slightly different feel than the look, ugly, but I can live with it. Perhaps it has a more native behaviour now.

Speaking of GTK+ SciTE (on Debian Linux), I was surprised not to see a Tab setting dialog box. I use it sometime when I get a text with tab-separated fields needing large tab values to accomodate all field sizes. That's where I wish to have variable tab stops (eg. at columns 20,45,55,60,120...), but the need is not compelling enough to justify work on it.
