Its a patch for Scintilla as used in Scite to fix a problem for GTK on Wayland 
on Linux, not GTK on win32 or macos, but as I pointed out may be superseded by 
the patch to GTK.

Sure, and it will get tested on Geany eventually but "somebody(s)" have to do 
it, as you probably know Geany contributors have little time available to work 
on it, and so it will take a while, especially for Windows and Macos platforms.

So in the meantime I was just pointing out the fix to Scintilla for Scite in 
case you wanted to add it for Linux to avoid problems until the GTK fix is 
distributed.  It may also fix other issues with apps which only accept MIME 
types that have been raised.
