   I wrote the first patch for that back in 2014 but it was never accepted   
   upstream.   
      
   Consequently the current version of GoldED still has that bug.   
      
   I never tested >255 char wide screens with the editor, partly because my fix   
   wasn't accepted upstream, so I forgot about submitting any more patches, but   
   mainly because I never use terminals that large and I didn't expect anyone   
   else to.   
      
   See the next series of messages for my fixes to the bugs I know about. Be   
   warned I haven't tested them extensively with very large terminals so you're   
   likely to encounter more crashes.
