Steps to reporduce: 1. Open file A in Geany 2. In a separate window, edit the same file (using e.g. vi) 3. Click to Geany editor so it regains focus 4. An infobar appears. As it appears, several lines in editor are selected

The selection is caused by the fact that as the same time the editor is being clicked, Geany checks if the document was modified and shows the info bar. The info bar makes the Scintilla editor smaller and it scrolls by the amount of lines corresponding to the height of the infobar. All this happens in the click handler and for Scintilla it appears as if the mouse button was presses during the scroll and it makes the selection.

Showing infobars on idle seems to fix the problem.
