Comment 5 for bug 73310

The person reporting to me that it was a single byte fix was mistaken.

I've been looking at the source and I've noted that there is a discrepancy between the definition of the byte length for the colours.

In src/preferences.h for example the definition for set_sel_back is gint, but the parameter in scintilla is a glong, which might explain the issue.

I'm going through the parameters one by one (there's more than 300) to see if I can catch all of those, change them, recompile and see if it starts working as expected.
