Editor gutter restricted to 100
I like to use 120 as my maximal editing width but the gutter is restricted to 100.
Granted, that's quite wide, but I certainly don't think there should be an arbitrary restriction of 100.
Else, I'm very much enjoying codeblocks so far -- thanks!

This is a feature request, not a bug report.
Also, bug reports generally cannot handled if you do not provide information about what revision and OS you use.
Code::Blocks is under constant development, and we cannot possibly know what revision you refer to if you do not tell us.
Lastly, if you refer to a reasonably recent version of Code::Blocks, then this request cannot possibly be serious.
The width of the line number column can be set from 0 to 100 em units. Any setting beyond 8 is already unreasonable (more than 99 million lines of code in one file?), but asking for more than 100 is outright silly.
Apart from the fact that you cannot possibly have enough virtual memory to display 10^100 lines of source code (and Scintilla can't handle it either), setting the width of the line number column to 100 results in a margin that is roughly 720 pixels wide (depends on the system font). There can really be no reason why it should ever need to be any larger than that :)
