Moving issue from https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1509
Using Ubuntu 16.04 and Geany 1.30.1, when I have an opened project and I want to open a new one, I go under Project > Open then it displays the dialog box, and crashes 1-2 seconds after by closing its window. When I use Recent projects it works well, but the list is not long enough to keep all my projects.
