Do you have a sample file to reproduce the issue with?

Sorry I have left the files with the client and have since changed laptops with
a newer operating system with a completely different desktop interface stack.
(Was Ubuntu 14.04 LTS/Unity, now Ubuntu 14.10/Gnome3).
I did however install Editra from the Ubuntu repositories today and did some
more testing to try and replicate the issue and I succeeded using the following
method:
1. Base64 encode a file into a base64 string.
2. Paste that string into Editra (it looked fine)
3. Just for giggles prepended the string with "variablename = "
4. Saved the file as a text file just in case the python parser in Editra had
any link to the bug.
5. I scrolled using the scrollbars and found it only part way scrolled to the
right along the long base64 string before the widgets for the scrollbar decided
to tell me it reached the end of the string (a new error/bug?)
6. By selecting the text string with my mouse and holding down the mouse button
I could scroll through the string to the right and force Editra to scroll
further along the string.
7. Before it reached the end the graphics on screen for the string exhibited
the same graphics corruption.
8. I scrolled using the scrollbar widget to the left and the string reappears
and the garbled graphics disappears.
9. I scroll back to the right and the garbled graphics reappears at the same
spot in the string.
10. Just for giggles I scroll back leftwards until the string reappears and put
the mouse curse at the end and hold the selection button down and select back
to the beginning of the string in editra and copy it into the copy buffer.
11. Using the shell plug-in I do a quick len() function call on it to see
approximated how far down the string editra can scroll on Ubuntu 14.10/Gnome3
before the graphic corruption appears.
Screenshots were taken at work but I forgot to copy them to a USB data stick
before coming home. I can reattach them at a later date if the above text
description is not sufficient to replicate the observed behavior.
