Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

For performance, Scintilla does not measure the display width of the document to determine the properties of the horizontal scroll bar.

Instead, an assumed width is used. These messages set and get the document width in pixels assumed by Scintilla. The default value is 2000. To ensure the width of the currently visible lines can be scrolled use ScrollWidthTracking.
