Well I think you said it, possibly lot of work for Scintilla for little return.
But you can always ask, but don't be surprised or upset if its no. If
Scintilla provides an option then "somebody" can make a PR to add it to Geany.
But the general approach these days is to make more features asyn
>[...] to offer two Line Wrapping
An other solution could be to offer only one Line Wrapping, and in the
Preferences one can deactivate a checkbox at `Line Wrapping without freezing
the display`.

I was using that to demonstrate the Scintilla behaviour in a simple way.

In FeatherPad I didn't turn on and off 'Wrap Lines', I did the test from

You are of course entitled to your opinion, but the Scintilla developers (and
its other users) clearly subscribe to the other opinion since they went to the
effort of making wrap work in background so it woul
If I do the test in the editor Featherpad when 'Wrap Lines' is activated, then
the cursor does not disappear.

That's not my position. My position is: Freezing the display is better than a
disappearance of the cursor.

[above](https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3666#issuecomment-1788533664) is
post Geany 2.0 release, so it would have been what was used.
The issue has been explained:
1. wrapping lots of text is slow
2. so its performed in background whilst allowing display to continue,

In my last comment, I didn't ask to close the issue. I asked to remove the
'Waiting for information'-label from the issue. The issue is still there, at
least in Geany 1.38. I don't know if the issue is in Geany 2.0 because I don't
have Geany 2.0. But because there

would explain it, and no need for big files or slow wrapping.

Ok, can replicate with a small file, with wrap on pasting wrapping lines to a
position close to the bottom of the screen leaves the screen in a position
where the cursor is not visible, but with wrapping off it always leaves the
cursor visible.

Its likely that the user has turned on Line Wrapping which is a background
process and may take over 10 seconds on a large file. After the text has been
added scrolling is performed before any wrapping of the new lines. While there
could be attempts to scroll to the new caret position as wrappin

How do you know its 3732?
1. Open the Geany manual:
https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html
2. Select all text (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C).
3. Create a new file in Geany (Ctrl-N)
4. Paste that text in this new file.
Result:
The last line I see in my editing window is #3624, while the last line of text
is #3732.
Please provide an exact and detailed recipe for reproducing the problem.
