It's close, but not quite the same. Having both set as Courier 12, my 80-column line appears at column 74. I don't tab enough for that to make a difference in the tab delimiters, and I can use the highlight functionality instead for line length, so that's workable, although still annoying. I don't know too much about QScintilla; is this a bug that's probably never going to get fixed, or should I look forward to it being fixed in the near future?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
that is a known weekness of QScintilla, which is responsible for this<br>
functionality. Have you tried setting a monospaced font for the syntax<br>
highlighter?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Detlev<br>
