- Geany 1.36 - en_US.UTF-8 - GTK 3.24.23 - GLib 2.64.6
Copying and pasting these four characters crashes Geany 1.36 consistently: 
- Opening the file doesn't crash Geany, but _pasting_ it does.
Steps to reproduce issue 1. Copy from Original source: Mailing address at bottom of https://videocityinc.com/edit/ - optional: Paste into a new text file in `nano` to reproduce issue later (copy from there instead of step 1) - copy the whole thing from nano or copy just the 4 characters (using GHex) 2. Paste it into any open text file in Geany.
I can't reproduce in 1.37/current master. What you have is [zero-width-space (U+200B)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space) followed by a newline (U+0A). Nothing too weird here, and nothing that I would expect Geany to crash on.
@poikilos do you have any plugins enabled? In any case, could you try with a clean configuration to see if you still reproduce (you can use `geany -c /tmp/temp-conf`)?
FWIW, here's the bytes: ``` ``` (yes, not much to see, but it's there)
geany -c /tmp/temp-conf
Yep, no crash. On my first try I found that which plugin to disable - regular mode: prevent crash by disabling: spell check - also I have: Addons, File Browser, Save Actions - if I have spell check disabled, then restart, no crash; enable it, paste, instant crash - using temp-conf: doesn't crash if spell check is enabled (or even if all of the above are enabled too)
My plugins are from Fedora 32: ``` $ dnf list installed | grep geany geany.x86_64 1.36-3.fc32 @updates geany-libgeany.x86_64 1.36-3.fc32 @updates geany-plugins-addons.x86_64 1.36-4.fc32 @updates geany-plugins-common.x86_64 1.36-4.fc32 @updates geany-plugins-spellcheck.x86_64 1.36-4.fc32 @updates ```
How could it not crash with the temp config even if I enable everything?
