OK.
After all the comments I left the existing (original) bbcode tags the same for the desktop site but change the generic code tags on mobile to the new syntaxhighter JS in plain mode which adds the line numbers.
Scrollbars work find on mobile. See movie attached.

Update, FYI:
Just updated GeSHI, that is used for our Advanced Syntax Highlighting plugin to the latest 2017 version (GeSHi 1.0.9.0) and FYI, the AWK filter is installed:

Update:
I'm working on some new code so that when we click on code tags, it toggles between different syntax highlighters (and of course the standard way with no 'lighters).
The problem I am having is that the forum bbcode PHP scripts do not pass in unique post ids for each post and also that even when I get this solved, there is also the issue of each unique code tag block per postid.
Each code tag block must be assigned a unique identifier for onclick() to work, per HTML specs. I am hesitate to assign random or sequential numbers or other ways to do it; but I may do this for only registered users if I cannot come up with a better solution.
Or I may just use unique ints for each thread view somehow..... but my preference is to get the unique post ids into the bbcode div tags and then add some unique ints for each code tag block in the posts div ids like codetag$postid_$blocknumber or something like that.
When I get the unique ids for each bbcode tag solved, then it's a piece of cake to add the JS code and HTML to make it work.

OK.... The first is done.
Thanks to Don Cragun for this idea!
You can now click on a code tag area and it will toggle back and forth between the original and the new style, now only plain (no coloring) but it's a start. It works on both mobile and on the desktop, but mobile default to the new code highlighter and the desktop defaults to the original code tags;
Code:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function switchCodeTags(codeTag) {
var eleA = codeTag +"a";
var eleB = codeTag +"b";
var x = document.getElementById(eleA);
var y = document.getElementById(eleB);
if (x.style.display === "none") {
y.style.display = "none";
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
y.style.display = "block";
}
}
</script>
Here is the core PHP code I changed in class_bbcode.php
What am I missing? How do I now copy code that is presented in CODE tags so I can paste it into another window?
It seems that all attempts to select text in a CODE tag now changes the view instead of selecting the text. It also appears that <tab>s in CODE tags are expanded to <space>s (as well as COLOR, ITALIC, BOLD, etc. tags being displayed as text instead of being acted upon) in the view with line numbers.
Being able to copy and paste code seems to me to be a basic requirement for text inside CODE segments in this forum!
Hi all

I wrote a new .lang file for syntax highlighting a language I use frequently. It works fine, except that it doesn't glob onto the files automatically. Is there a utility I need to run to update a gtksourceview database?
