They are neither.

No such clues were evident.

What good does it do to partition an SSD? Because of the wear leveling,
if it goes read-only, I expect the whole thing is read-only. Including
swap I expect.
I rest my case with this thread, geany apparently is not taking care of
its housekeeping and is running out of whatever is allocated to do the
disk write, its the only conclusion that makes sense so far. There's a
name for it, but oldtimers is at work here too. Dammit.
I'll change my default lcnc editor to nano --smooth, which gets rid of my
scrolling complaint. And see if it happens again. That will also tend
to prevent my leaving it open forever if launched from lcnc as thats
single-threaded. Either editor launched as a fresh action will probably
solve the problem.
Haveing fresh input from different angles helps my ancient wet ram,
thanks Thomas.
