Geany crashes for me on a regular basis. After some experimenting I've
found a way to reproduce this:

- start geany
- from a new terminal open a not-yet-existing file:
    geany /tmp/some-file.txt
- click a bit between geany and the terminal window

I think I've seen this also with files that do exist but the above
triggers the crash for me after a couple of clicks.

This is running under Gnome desktop with reasonably default settings.

Attached is a gdb backtrace.

Thanks

Package: geany
Followup-For: Bug #1035572

Today, I can no longer reproduce this even though the version of geany
hasn't changed. The problem might have been in one of the dependencies.

I had a similar problem on Debian 12 64-bit, GNOME 43.9 with X11.

My geany version reported from "LANG=c geany --version" is: geany 1.38 (built on 2022-09-18 with GTK 3.24.34, GLib 2.73.3).

My steps to reproduce:
 1. Open geany
 2. Press "Control+n" or the icon in the toolbar to create a new file
 3. Focus the text input area of the now opened file (the thing where you type in the contents of the file)
 4. Crash.

The attachment gdb_backtrace*1 shows the backtrace after the crash in step 4.

My steps to solve this issue:
 1. Disable the plugin "project organizer", version 1.38 which is apperently by "Jiri Techet" (according to the tooltip). No need to uninstall the plugin, turning it off sufficed.

I now can no longer reproduce this crash.


Note: I asked about this in debians irc channel #debian. They linked me this and finally asked me to sent this info to you, in case it's helpful.
