This theory is also supported by the fact, that the locking problem went away, after rebooting Windows.
I hope you can still reproduce the problem? So far you are the only one having it.
However, the real "bug" IMO is not the file locking itself (as annoying as it might be), but that Geany gets *unresponsive* if this occurs. Even if we really have the case a "legal" file locking, I don't think that Geany should become unoperational.
Indeed, but as I said above, nobody else has (so far) reproduced the problem, we probably need your assistance to track it.
