Hi,
I have a really strange problem with Geany.
Using Geany 0.17 standard install on open suse 11.0, logged in as a different user to where I was developing Geany so there is no leakage from development versions.
When typing 's' the save as dialog pops up?? I have a keybinding <super>s for save as but undefining it didn't fix the problem but it did let me check that <super> isn't stuck on. It seems to depend on Geany a <super> keybinding existing when Geany is opened.
I can turn the problem on and off by closing Geany with the <super>s keybinding defined and next time I open Geany typing s invokes the keybinding. If I undefine the keybinding and close and re-open the problem has gone away. Its like the <super> is permanently defined so when there is a keybinding using it then typing just the character s is interpreted as <super>s. I tried defining several <super><character> keys and all of them react the same way, when first defining the keybinding all is well, but on closing and re-opening Geany the strange behavior starts. Removing the keybinding does not fix the problem until Geany is closed and re-started. So the problem may be in the load of keybindings. ~/.config/geany/keybindings.conf contains the <Super>s as expected.
I'm not clear, does pressing a <Super>s keybinding actually work at first (and s works normally)? What is the exact string shown in the keybinding prefs treeview?
On my system I just found I can't even set a <Super>s binding, the dialog just picks up 's'. It understands the Super key on its own, but not as a modifier. (I have GTK 2.12.5, Xfce 4.4).
I had a look at kb_keytype_dialog_response_cb(), perhaps it's a GDK bug?
