On Windows, using windows messages implicitly causes synchronisation when calling Scintilla. There are direct calls but they are only ever made from the main thread which is also the thread that Scintilla executes on. glib has a global lock but it is not automatically entered from all events, so code unconcerned with the new thread would have to be checked. Adding locking to Scintilla's entry point would add overhead to all clients (or complexity), even the majority that don't use threads.
