* When choosing "Open Selected File `↑^o`" in the context menu, if the selected text is a directory, * a message appears in the status tab in the message window saying: `hh:mm:ss: Error opening file ---: Is a directory`
the suggestion is to: 1. either enable opening that directory in the "file browser plugin" if that's enabled 2. or allow selecting text in the status window : https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3321
