Horizontal scroll bar won't scroll to end of line
On a sufficiently-long line of source code (several hundred characters long), the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the code editor window won't scroll right to the extreme end of the line. Using the End or right arrow keys allows the cursor to seek to the end, at which point CodeBlocks updates the scroll bar to be able to seek to both ends of the line of code.

History
The scrollbar doesn't seem to go farther than column 256.
However, this is probably intentional.
Otherwise, the scrollbar would get rather sensitive when there are very long lines in the current document (I have a line of >10,000 chars in one source file, for example). That wouldn't be desirable, as most other lines can be assumed to be much shorter.
Perhaps the scroll bar can update based on the length of the line it's currently on? That would bypass having a scrollbar having the same sensitivity on short lines as on abnormally-long lines.
Which version of C::B do you use ?
The nightlies have an option in "Settings -> Editor -> Margins and caret -> Scrollbar" to determine the length of the horizontal scrollbar.
Release 8.02.
It's good to know that feature will be out, but I don't need it enough to drop from the stable release. Thanks for the information.
The next release will come soon.
I close this bug.
