Looks like this is some sort of incompatibility with GTK3 or a GTK3 bug?? I've compiled the git version with GTK2, no issues, I can type whatever I want, japanese, corean, chinese, portuguese...
Steps used to compile geany: 1. `git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git%60 2. `cd * && ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk3=no` <- meet the autogen requirements if necessary (my case `sudo yum install gtk2-devel -y`) 3. `make -j9` 4. Run geany
