geany 1.29 doesn't say. But its working well here. Thanks $DEITY
for a decent editor but this is still a stretch based linuxcnc install in
amd64 flavor. Now running a 9nth gen i5 at 3.7 GHZ. Highest temp
reported is 31C. Stay away from gedit, its a CF you WILL regret
installing. It plays 52 pickup with your text files contents, bad dog,
don't open the biscuits.
And its working well on the rpi4, which is a raspbian 10.2 buster install
in armhf flavor.

Hi Gene! My 4 GTK applications left are "terminator" (it's 0.97, gtk2
version, on hold, as 1.xx is gtk3 and utterly broken), GIMP (can't do
much about it) and DrRacket (which has a use-gtk2-switch). "Geany" was
good, as long as it was GTK2, the GTK3 version is broken badly, and
firefox (well ...). Guess some GNOMEs get good money for breaking
things in a creative way.

it's been 96.
I have tried something else (I believe '120', not sure why I
picked that) and it improved some things and made other things
worse - had me jumping from config file to config file. somehow
I've achieved equilibrium with 96.
and Firefox is a demon! ended up writing userChrome.css rules
but strangely Firefox-esr (68.3.0esr) seems to honor them but
Firefox 71.0 seems to ignore them. (I did the magic of trying to
force it to read the file, etc.)
Firefox uses GTK3, and that's a pestilence on it's own. > Cheers, Gene Heskett
