No. It wouldn't open from file manager when all Geany instances are closed (I only have one Geany instance open).

I mean all Geany instances should be closed, I want you to try so the file manager starts Geany, not that it opens a tab in an existing instance.

I presume this is just for troubleshooting purposes?

Because you can't really ask the user to close Geany and open it through clicking on the offending file through the file manager every time s(he) wants to open that file. For a start s(he) will need to be aware of the issue, otherwise clicking on it while Geany is open will bring up the 'save file' endless loop. That's a rabbit hold we all wanna stay clear of.

Anyway, how come the issue doesn't affect mousepad?

For troubleshooting purposes, I've exited Geany completely, then clicked the test file with carriage return at the end of the file name. It opened Geany without any hitches. See attached screenshot. Still disconcerting that it's an issue when Geany is open.
