Main window corrupt on Windows with Overview active

[Cilyan]

Hi guys,
at home, on Linux, I activated the Overview and I quite liked the feature. So I enabled it also at work, on Windows 7. However, when I do this, the source code window (the main one, not the overview) becomes "graphically laggy". Scrolling isn't smooth, but worse, the display of the code is often corrupt. See the screenshot below, this is visible also in the line count, though it doesn't even match (e.g. the comment is on line 187 and follows a function declaration).

No real idea what is causing this, it just reminds me of a behaviour I had in a GtkTreeView once due to update done from the wrong thread (GtkTreeView methods called from a GstPipeline thread).

I tested 1.25 and 1.26. I do not remember having had this problem in 1.24 (but not sure).

Best regards

Can you try it with a fresh config by running Geany from command prompt like C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\Geany.exe -c someNewDirToUse -v and see if it still happens with the default settings and no other plugins loaded? Also please paste any output from the console that it opens, or from Help->Debug messages. Thanks.

Just tried. Unfortunately, yes, it behaves the same. The scrolling is definitely immediately more laggy, even for not so long documents. But usually at the end of scrolling, there would be a refresh that cleans everything so getting corrupted code again was not easy. But I found what the best conditions for reproducing the problem are: just scroll slowly up and down, like you were looking for a piece of code you know is around. Then you get the displacement on lines and code, which is only corrected when you place the cursor on a line or select some code. This would redraw the line selected plus, I'd say the 1 above and 1 below lines.

If I can find time tomorrow, to do some more testings. (Actually, I first thought it would reproduce if I had some other applications eating a little memory and CPU, so I opened some. That would be interesting to check if it happens with a fresh booted session. And maybe trying more versions.)

Cheers
