Also now #1185 allows to configure the indicator color, so there's one more workaround. -- 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/1116#issuecomment-257615033

Closing this, because IMO it's mostly the Ubuntu's theme fault, plus now #1154 is merged so there should be a decent workaround. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

@dandv you could also try the option "Stop scrolling at last line" in Preferences->Editor->Display. When disabled, this option let you scroll down the last line and so there is enough space to the overlay scrollbars. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Looking at your screenshot it looks like you have Ubuntu's overlay scrollbars. It's very possible they overflow a few pixels on the editing are hiding the bottom of the line. I indeed cannot reproduce this on my system, where when I manage to put the bottom line the closest to the bottom of the editing area, I get this:  As you can see, the squiggle underline doesn't oveflow the line boundaries, so is completely visible here. I wonder: does it overflow on your system, or is about 1 px of the whole line missing? Also, one reason I find the red squiggle hard to see on your capture isn't that one pixel of it is missing but that it has a color too similar to what I believe is the bottom scrollbar. It's kind of unfortunate to have such non-background colors around an area containing unknown content. Sure, Scintilla could have a padding, but that would waste screen estate for nothing. A workaround could be changing the color of that underline (not currently configurable unfortunately) or of that scrollbar. However, we could indeed set [the Y caret policy](http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETYCARETPOLICY) with an offset so the last line is never on the bottom, something like `SCI_SETYCARETPOLICY(CARET_SLOP | CARET_STRICT | CARET_EVEN, 1)`. I guess that'd be reasonable, but may require a setting. Also, note that if scrolling past the last line is disabled, this won't help with the very last line, as there are none to display below it. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

The Scintilla editing component that Geany uses always starts with a line boundary at the top of the screen and shows lines down from there, which can leave a fractional line at the bottom that the cursor won't enter, or if you are lucky(?) and have the window an exact multiple of the line height the cursor can go right to the bottom. Github switches the fractional line to the top of the screen if the cursor enters the last line and vice versa. This change would have to be made in Scintilla as Geany has no control over that. Scintilla is a separate project and you can request it at their feature request [tracker](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/). --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
