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
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

$ src/geany -v
