currently, with wscite.zip, turning line numbers on for a 100,000 line file causes the leftmost digit to be chopped off. only the rightmost 4 digits are shown.

I sometimes work with files which have sometimes millions of lines of SQL code and often 100,000+ lines for html. so I need line numbers that are not truncated

making such a test file is easy with copy and paste by doubling.

this would involve a change to SciTEGlobal.properties: line.margin.width=6

    please make that line.margin.width=10. it did not handle million-line files when I tried 6 due to the extra several blanks in the margin I didn't account for. this should work pretty good for a lot of uses.

    The design centre for Scintilla and SciTE are human-created source files. Settings are chosen to optimize the experience for the majority of users and using 6 or 10 characters of horizontal space on line numbers is not justified.
