Re: Assistance Required: Code Folding and Line Numbers Not Appearing in pgAdmin 4 (v9.8)

Dear pgAdmin Support Team,

I am reaching out regarding an issue we are encountering with code folding in pgAdmin 4 (version 9.8).

Issue Summary:
• Code folding is enabled under Preferences → Query Tool → Editor (the “Code folding” option is toggled on).
• However, fold carets/triangles are not appearing for foldable regions (e.g., WITH (…) CTEs or VALUES (…) blocks).
• We only see the caret when wrapping a block in BEGIN…END;, but that makes the query invalid in SQL execution.
• Additionally, the “Line numbers” option (expected under Preferences → Query Tool → Display) is missing entirely in this version of pgAdmin 4, which prevents us from exposing the gutter where fold carets normally appear.

Steps Taken So Far:

1. Verified that Code folding is enabled.
2. Tried different themes (Default, Light, Dark) to check if the caret was hidden due to UI visibility.
3. Restarted Query Tool after preferences changes.
4. Tested simple foldable examples (e.g., WITH test AS (VALUES (1), (2), (3)) SELECT * FROM test;) — no fold caret appeared.
5. Confirmed with multiple users that the Line numbers preference is not visible in our pgAdmin 4 v9.8 builds.

Environment:
• pgAdmin 4 v9.8
• Affected across multiple installations
• OS: [insert OS details if you want to include, e.g., Windows 11 / macOS Sonoma]

Request:
Could you please confirm:

1. Whether the Line numbers option has been relocated or removed in pgAdmin 4 v9.8?
2. If this is a known regression/bug affecting code folding in CTEs and parentheses blocks.
3. Recommended steps or patches to restore proper code folding (without relying on BEGIN…END;).

We rely on folding for large SQL queries, and currently this limitation makes navigation difficult. If this requires escalation, I’d be grateful if you could provide guidance or log it as a support issue with the pgAdmin development team.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Mas
