QScintilla how to disable "overfolding"

I'm trying to use QScintilla 2.8.3 along side Qt5.3 to make a small text editor but I'm having a problem with folding.

As you can see here:

enter image description here

the end of the folding block does not corespond with the closing bracket.

This is how I'm setting up the lexer and folding:

cpplexer->setDefaultFont( font );
cpplexer->setFoldAtElse( true );
cpplexer->setFoldComments( true );
cpplexer->setFoldCompact( true );
cpplexer->setFoldPreprocessor( true );

editor->setLexer( cpplexer );
editor->setFolding( QsciScintilla::BoxedTreeFoldStyle );

Is it possible to have the block end on the same line as the closing bracket? Is there a flag for this or do I need to change something in QScintilla's source ?

Solution

  • You just set the setFoldCompact() to true, the documentation says:

    virtual void QsciLexerPostScript::setFoldCompact( bool fold ) [virtual, slot]

    If fold is true then trailing blank lines are included in a fold block. The default is true.

    Turn that off and you'll be good to go.
