Lex,

Thank for exhaustive answer!
A search with git bisect has shown, that the bug was introduced with updating Scintilla to 3.3.2:

kvm@dell-e6220 /mnt/doc/devel/geany/geany $ git bisect good
f5588043b7e6bbd9dff5ac37eb37b00a503d192a is the first bad commit
commit f5588043b7e6bbd9dff5ac37eb37b00a503d192a
Author: Colomban Wendling <ban@herbesfolles.org>
Date:   Wed May 22 03:23:57 2013 +0200

    Update Scintilla to version 3.3.2

Similar issue I've found on Scintilla bug tracker was fixed only for win32 - here is the patch.
I tried to detect the first Scintilla commit, which introduced the issue, but I see that merging Scintilla to Geany sources is non-trivial. Build failed after the first attempt.

Folks, what do you think about it? Is it enough information that it is Scintilla issue and we need to report it or something was not taken into account during upgrading to 3.3.2?

make install
cd ../bin
./geany -c ../config

gives a version of geany completely independent of your system geany

for plugins

cd /somedirectory/geany

git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git
cd geany-plugins
./autogen.sh --prefix=/somedirectory/geany
--with-geany-libdir=/somedirectory/geany/lib
make install
cd ../bin
./geany -c ../config

and you have the plugins.  Note there is no sudo in the above so you
can't touch the system install by accident.

For further information see the HACKING file.

Cheers
