Yes, you are right, of course. There is no debugging facility for PHP
anyway, only code editing with a little help from a syntax aware editor.
That said Geany is a great syntax aware editor.
I have a similar installation to OP and have left geany running for days
on end. Both the distro build and github master. Never had this 30
minutes problem.
It is worth noting that Fedora provide individual packages for the
plugins as well as the base package, so it should be easy to totally
remove any and all plugins and just remain with vanilla geany.
Fedora packages are:
geany-plugins-scope.x86_64 : Graphical GDB front-end
geany-plugins-lipsum.x86_64 : Lorem Ipsum generator for Inserting
Placeholder Text
geany-plugins-codenav.x86_64 : Navigate through your source code easily
geany-plugins-geanypg.x86_64 : encrypt, decrypt and verify signatures
with GnuPG
geany-plugins-automark.x86_64 : Highlights all words that match current word
geany-plugins-overview.x86_64 : Overview over the code in a sidebar
geany-plugins-autoclose.x86_64 : Intellectually helps you to write code
geany-plugins-keyrecord.x86_64 : Records and replays a sequence of
keystrokes
geany-plugins-geanygendoc.x86_64 : Automatically generate documentation
source code
geany-plugins-shiftcolumn.x86_64 : Move Blocks of Text horizontally
geany-plugins-treebrowser.x86_64 : Alternate file browser plugin
providing a tree view of directories
geany-plugins-defineformat.x86_64 : Write multiline defines with aligned
backslash
geany-plugins-tableconvert.x86_64 : Helps on converting a tabulator
separated selection into a table
geany-plugins-geanyextrasel.x86_64 : Additional features for selecting code
geany-plugins-git-changebar.x86_64 : Highlights uncommitted changes, and
allows navigation through : hunks
geany-plugins-geanyinsertnum.x86_64 : Insert huge number ranges with
small efforts
geany-plugins-lineoperations.x86_64 : Assortment of simple line
functions that can be applied to an: open file
geany-plugins-geanynumberedbookmarks.x86_64 : Provide users 10 numbered
Bookmarks
and many more.
there is also geany , geany-libgeany and geany-plugins-common.
That should make it easier to narrow down where the problem lies.
HTH.
