I have glitch in Geany (version 1.32), Ubuntu 18.04. The scroll bars become completely orange over the entire width (or height), and this makes it difficult to use for its intended purpose. Is it possible to solve it? Terminal shows this errors:

(geany:9576): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:34:04.511: Negative content width -15 (allocation 1, extents 8x8) while allocating gadget (node entry, owner GtkEntry)

You could download and make install the latest geany from official site: https://www.geany.org/download/releases/ After I install the v1.35, this problem could be resolved. (Remember to remove v1.32 before make install v1.35)

  • Instead of a manual installation, one can also go with the geany ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geany-dev/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install geany geany-plugins-common – Oscillon Aug 24 '19 at 19:28
  • Instead of PPA, just download and install the official packages from Ubuntu 19.10, they're compatible with the libraries of the 18.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/geany and https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/geany-common – Velkan Dec 19 '19 at 07:52
  • I have the same problem, but I already have the latest version v1.36 installed. Had it both on Ubuntu Bionic and now on Focal, any other resolution that could help here? – centic Oct 10 '20 at 20:58
  • Thanks, v1.37 does resolve the problem, although the scroll bar is still slightly diminished when out of focus. At least it is visible and usable now. – Yan King Yin Apr 10 '21 at 12:28
