I agree this sucks.

No :-(

Correct, I'm afraid.  Scintilla detects folding as it colorises.  Changes
like you suggest would make it far more complex.

The good news, however, is that fixing it inside Scintilla means Pythonwin
gets the fix, as well as whatever wxPython integration efforts are
underway, and every future user of Python code in Scintilla will sing your
praises.

Please take this on!

Mark.
