Same as for the top-hint in the ide.
Yes the gutter stays empty. At least it can, and work like that in the 
IDE. All the code should be in SourceSynEditor.
See image

SynEdit delegates all painting to the TextArea, which also returns how 
much space it can offer.

Normal SynEdit:
   FTextArea := TLazSynTextArea.Create
TLazSynTextArea  splits the space 3 ways (see the creator of SyNedit 
and/or TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager
Left/Right Gutter and Text

TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager splits it 2 ways: upper/lower
- The lower is known to SynEdit, and contains and provides SynEdit with 
info on the boundaries.
- The upper is in your control. It also has 2 gutter, but unless you 
feed them they stay empty (in the IDE even changes to the gutter setting 
appear to be forwarded, not sure how)

 From SourceSynEditor
   TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager(FPaintArea).ExtraManager.DisplayView := 
FTopInfoDisplay;

FTopInfoDisplay provides the info what to paint. You need to do your own
 From my memory....

nothing

  will be called with 0, and gives "out" 0 // sets the line (index) that 
needs to be painted.
Since your area is the height of 1 line, and GetLinesCount retunrs 1 
there is no scrolling (Also nothing  (except you) will change the 
topline for this)

nothing

  your text
     TokenStart: PChar;
     TokenLength: integer;
     TokenAttr: TSynHighlighterAttributes;
you may need a TSynHighlighterAttributes; (color)  but try nil, or 
create an empty one

  always ONE (1)

     Result.Color := clNone;

return same as input // used by folding





In your case to prevent the gutter
-  Inherit TLazSynGutterArea
- in TSourceLazSynSurfaceManager.Create use your class for the gutter
- in YOUR_TLazSynGutterArea.DoPaint(ACanvas: TCanvas; AClip: TRect);
  call
   FGutter.Paint(ACanvas, Self, AClip, 0, -1);

that should keep it empty


For your case you need to add handling of LeftChar for horizontal scroll.
