Who moved the option to hide the overview gutter in the editor window? I no longer see the option to turn it off.

There now is a whole section "Gutter".

It has a "listbox" with left/right radios above.

=> Select "Right", then "overview" and then you can disable it.

Got it. Thank you, It seems a little unintuitive in that you need to select the radio button labeled right, then select gutter, then hit a checkbox in the right area, but your instructions were spot on an helpful.

Well, yes... Currently there is only one part for the right side.

But given all the other settings (margin), if the part of the right gutter, was mixed into the list with parts of the left, that wouldn't be intuitive either.

Maybe, TTabControl is more intuitive for switching gutters settings? | Left gutter | Right gutter |

yes and, ....

I am not sure how well a tab control works, embedded in the middle of a page, with other (not part of the tabs) stuff above and below....

But
- the current layout is bad too => especially because the radio group has a frame, but that doesn't even include the controls affected...
- there is a lot of inconsistency
? * this page: radio
? * colors page: toolbar/button (toggle, stay down) e.g. color prior ? * Tab and indent: actually has a tab control (but its at the bottom, nothing below)
? * user def markup: actually has a tab control (but its at the bottom, nothing below)

But even the 2 "has a tab ctrl" have differences. (at least on Windows). Tab controls have a white background color, whereas the rest is grey. "Tab and indent" is having that white
"user def" has it forced to grey

Could you open an issue on this please?
