I setup geany on a new machine and spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why the **strip-trailing spaces** option wouldn't work.
It seems the global? setting in **Preferences/Files/Saving files** is ignored in favour of the same settings in **Project Properties/Files/Saving files**.
These features now operate if either the global setting or project setting is enabled You can view, comment on, or merge this pull request online at:
