If there is a text present (even a simple space) between the TYPE keyword and the first declared type.
I have also tried to type a very simple pascal program directly in Geany editor, by also putting a space in the line after the TYPE keyword and before the first type declaration. The moment i saved it as a PAS file, Geany crashed.
I tested this behaviour with Geany 1.25 from another PC and it works ok.
Geany v1.36 GTK+ v2.24.32 Win 7 x64 Enterprise SP1
WFM, please post a minimal[1] program to reproduce.
[1] one line would be good :grin:
Ahh yes, i forgot to type one. So here it is:
``` program test
type
{ comment } TType = class one: Integer; end; ```
Confirmed on ` Geany 1.37 (git >= 82590af4)`
In ctags, partial backtrace:

This looks like a duplicate of #2358.
Nobody except Travis seems to have tested the patches @ntrel made there, @papadouk can you test #2360 and see if it fixes the problem.
i have never tested a patch before so the only thing i manage to do in order to test it towards the lastest build it was to use the latest nightly build (i have attached a screenshot from the About window) 
Geany DIDN'T crash this time but instead it cleared its SYMBOLS tree (no symbols found message).
I do hope it helped
Been fighting this issue with documented obj-pas file for a while and stumbled across this. I can confirm that #2360 solves the issue for me, and symbols seem unaffected. Pulled from github.com/ntrel/geany.git, pas-type branch.
Built on Arch, screenshot of about is below. Let me know if theres anything else you'd need from me and I'll see what I can do to help.
This bug was introduced by a1cf475fcf2c81420bfa90307585ec645cfb4dc1
The SEGFAULT is (probably) caused by the uninitialized `tagEntryInfo` in `createPascalTag()`.
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/8f0909685dad46096ecf92152e82d309b0852bfd...
After having a look at https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/blob/86bdb84ce1fc25239c02121343cec8... I altered the line to
```Pascal initTagEntry (tag, NULL, KIND_GHOST_INDEX); ```
and my Pascal files don't crash Geany anymore.
BTW: That's a duplicate of #2358
Closed #2428 via #3043.
