1.37.1 in Windows 10, (using Chinese Simplified Microsoft Pinyin IME).
**Reproduce:**
0. (Be in Chinese character pinyin input mode)
1. Type "p" (see the floating input dialogue)
2. Press "ctrl+space" to escape the pinyin input mode for English. (ctrl+space is set as my IME switch, some people use ctrl+shift or other key combos, I haven't tried changing all these shortcuts to test the behavior across all conditions.)
**Expected**: the letter "p" is typed as the buffer is cleared
**Result**: the print dialogue is opened ("ctrl+p")
**Background --**
When using an IME with Geany, often a floating input selection box pops up on the screen where it offers character options, none of which are inserted into the document as you type. The IME also lets you switch between, say, Chinese, and Latin input with a shortcut, something like ctrl+space.
(Geany's behavior is slightly different than most IME input boxes I see. Others insert characters as you type, while also giving you a floating set of options to overwrite what you typed. I would guess Geany's is probably inherited from somewhere, but not sure why it doesn't rely on the generic Windows interface for this process, which seems to work fine and consistently in random input boxes across other applications.)
E.g., from within this browser input box, the options float just below the cursor, while still inserting keystrokes as you type:
* * * * * * *
> 
* * * * * * *
E.g., Geany, the input box moves the input to the upper left:
* * * * * * *
> 
* * * * * * *
I discovered this when halfway through the word "request"... the "q" triggered a surprising "crash." But it looks like all keystrokes behave this way. If you are in the input method window, it holds all the keystrokes in a buffer. If you hit ctrl+space, you'd expect them to all simply be typed as Latin letters at the cursor, but instead they are all sequentially pressed as a "ctrl+" combination.
**Workarounds**:
If you hit "ESC" to escape that IME box, then no characters are not inserted and the input box closes. If you hit space or punctuation, then it enters the recommended option, usually Chinese characters in my case. If you hit the "Enter" key, it enters the Latin letters you typed and ignores the suggestions in the window. These three other ways of escaping an IME box may make for reasonable workarounds. The only thing is, muscle memory is stubborn, it would be preferable if the IME didn't have a path to invoke a bunch of ctrl+commands seemingly at random from any of its states, even though that state could technically be avoided with careful typing.
Not sure what the worst random string of commands would be. "axq" is probably up there.
**Other possibly related issues?:**
I didn't find any clear examples. Closest thing I found was #795, where he talks about some crashes while inputting text, and some Japanese language files. But my issue seems to be on inputting characters, that one reads like it happens more intermittently and in other conditions, so I don't think they're actually the same issue.
Good luck with this one, and thanks for your work on Geany.

Hi, I encounter problems with printing underscores on my screen (a 32" with 2560x1440 pixels). At normal zoom factor, they do not appear, I need to zoom in 3 times to see them at last (see the 2 pics joined). I'm using Geany on Ubuntu 20.04 (fully up to date). My version of Geany is 1.36, and it is indicated "construit le Mar 22 2020 ou ultérieurement" and "Utilisant les bibliothèques GTK v3.24.20 et GLib v2.64.6". Maybe the bug is not present any more in the latest version, but I'm not sure I will be able to install and try it... Thanks for reading.
 { SSM(sci, SCI_SETMULTIPASTE, SC_MULTIPASTE_EACH, 0); }
add to sciwrappersh:
void sci_set_multi_paste (ScintillaObject *sci, gboolean mpval);
What works for now, but requires that you modify something in Preferences at least once in the session to get it to fire is adding, the following to editorc:
sci_set_multi_paste(editor->sci, 1);
To test it out turn on the setting, change a keybinding in Preferences
Then copy some text to the clipboard, select multilines (Alt+Shift Up/DownArrow) and paste!
Now you should see all pasted text onto each line in the editor

I have this on Manajaro (x86_64, Gnome, Wayland) for a week when there was a bigger update. I installed GTK3 about ten days ago. Could that be the problem?
Please let me know if you require anything else to resolve this issue.
Thank you!

This is more a loose suggestion perhaps.
I am wondering whether perhaps the geany-plugins should be bundled
with whatever stable version of geany is released at the same time?
Not everyone necessarily may want to have a separate package, but
I think one could have an in-geany downloadable or installable button
to install the most recent plugins collection anyway.
Right now I have geany-1.36.tar.xz and geany-plugins-1.35.tar.xz.
I can easily update the latter (I use ruby scripts for that) but it's
still a manual effort. So here I am thinking that it may be better to
also bundle the latest plugins with geany itself as-is. It could still
be separately maintained, but it would be simpler for users in
the long run to have just one package IMO.

I am not sure where I should open this issue, here or in geany-plugins.
I need to debug a multithreaded app with Geany with debugger plugin (gdb) but Geany hangs inside the thread.
I have been using Geany for a long time but I can't find a way to debug a thread.
To reproduce the problem, build and debug the sample thread.c, setting a break-point at the line *22* and *34* and then **run**
* Build
gcc -g -O0 -o thread thread.c -lpthread
* thread.c
```
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
/*
* Build with:
*
* gcc -g -O0 -o thread thread.c -lpthread
*
*/
pthread_t tid[2];
void* doSomeThing(void *arg)
{
unsigned long x = 0;
int j = 0;
int i = (int)arg;
pthread_t id = pthread_self();
printf("Thread %d processing...\n", i);
if(pthread_equal(id,tid[0])) {
printf("Inside First thread\n");
} else {
printf("Inside Second thread\n");
}
for(x=0; x<(0xFFFFFFFF);x++) {
j++;
}
printf("Thread %d: 0x%lx [ x = 0x%X ]\n",i, id, j);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
int i = 0;
int err;
while (i < 2) {
err = pthread_create(&(tid[i]), NULL, &doSomeThing, (void*)i);
if (err != 0)
printf("can't create thread :[%s]", strerror(err));
else
printf("Thread %d created successfully\n", i);
i++;
}
sleep(10);
return 0;
}
```
Geany correctly stops at the first break-point, but If i click "Step over", Geany switches to the second thread, hitting "Step over" again hangs Geany. And eventually, a crash occurs if you try to close Geany.
The correct behavior should be to stay in the same thread and walk through the code while "Step over" is hit, line by line.

Doing a copy of a large amount of text always crashes geany.
This is an example of a file that crashes:
wget "https://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/servlet/RenderData?si=1784251&cs=rgb&format=C…"
To reproduce: Open file, ctrl-a, ctrl-c
and geany crashes and disappears.

The program 'geany' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 6801 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
