On my long-running Geany session, now searching using <kbd>Return</kbd>/<kbd>Shift+Return</kbd> skips over every other match, making it basically unusable. Clicking the search button works.
This does *not* reproduce if I start a new instance with the same config, so it ought to be something I did in this session, but I can't see what it is for now. I also tried modifying the toolbar, no issue there either. I hate this kind of report, but I'm still making one myself -- any ideas welcome. I didn't dig very very deep to find what could be the cause yet though, maybe something can come up in that front.
This looks like a revamp of b0b0ebb469a6b7eb74d321e6f5d7fe6f0bfcf6ba and probably related to #3838 somehow.
"of course" modifying the toolbar fixes the issue as the entry is remade anew. So I "fixed" the bug in my running instance (yay, I can keep it a little longer!), but there's definitely a fishy corner case somewhere.
Does it only occur after a long session not when Geany is started and run for some time? Does it get fixed by starting Geany but the same session?
One thought is that "something" has a competition about the yucky global stuff for various search stuff. Maybe @b4n plugin or other action that does search will generate some issue with corner sharing.
I'm really not sure what caused it or what conditions need to be met, I didn't reproduce it yet with the same session with same plugins. But again, I had Geany running for a very long time and has used it extensively when it happened to me, so a million things can have happened then. I didn't see it again yet -- nor did I dig deep enough to find the issue.
How long do you run Geany before the problem is seen. For example for me Geany max runs about 16 hours, though not heavily used all that time, but no indications of searching wrong have been seen. How long and how heavily do you use Geany, do you mean weeks, months, lashed heavily?
Months, used for the most part of say half the days
Ok, can't help then. Maybe you can set up a bot4n that checks searches all day every day and maybe finds it faster?? :grin:
I just hit that again, and this time Geany was running for only about 8 hours. Yet, I still have no clue what happened…
