I've been using eric3 for a few months now and I like it very much but I must admit this problem
has been bugging me from the start. Now, I don't know a lot about QScintilla and/or Scintilla
itself but I was using the Pythonwin IDE (also based on Scintilla) under Windows before and it
has a code folding feature that collapses everything. So it may not be that difficult to
implement that in eric3.

Just a thought...
