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.
