If there are demonstrable issues with wxSTC that can cause annoyance
and loss of productivity that we can't easily get fixed, then I don't
object to having an option to switch it off.

I'm not sure how one could accidentally toggle a block regularly
though; it's not something I recall ever doing - and to do it often
enough *and* reproduce a bug that to my knowledge hasn't been reported
before seems like it would be hard to cause more than trivial
annoyance; unless there's something specific to Ken's environment at
play here as well.
