Hi !

Plugin "tag pair highlighter plugin for Geany" issue : Alphabetic character "<" makes Geany close.

Geany 1.27 Running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS This is a copy of original post : https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1455

on the attached (sorry, I cannot attach PHP file) PHP file, at line 1583, I have the following code (started before by /*, and finishing after by */) : * V...|.......................Jour courant..................................>|<...................................Lendemain.................................................>| When I write the "<" character, on this line 1583, Geany closes.

In /var/log/syslog there is : Mar 30 12:58:29 PRINCIPAL kernel: [ 2151.269486] geany[12005]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f1b1a5cf9de sp 00007ffe7d451aa8 error 4 in libc-2.23.so[7f1b1a531000+1bf000] Mar 30 13:05:45 PRINCIPAL kernel: [ 2586.680237] geany[13373]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd0b0b929de sp 00007fffe225d0b8 error 4 in libc-2.23.so[7fd0b0af4000+1bf000] Mar 30 13:08:16 PRINCIPAL kernel: [ 2737.718143] geany[13586]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd4ff5ae9de sp 00007ffcc369f738 error 4 in libc-2.23.so[7fd4ff510000+1bf000] and more ...

On this line 1583, " * V...|.......................Jour courant.....".

I removed the first "<", before the words "Jour courant", just after the first "|" character, and I cannot write it back, because Geany closes each time I trie.

Original was : "V...|<.......................Jour courant....."."

If I clic before the second "<" (do not look for the first one, it does not exist anymore), before the word "Lendemain", nothing happen.

If I clic after the second "<" (do not look for the first one, it does not exist anymore), Geany closes.

If I clic after the last ">" Geany does not close.

Let me know if you want my PHP file. Thank you for looking about it ... Nils

I removed the "tag pair highlighter plugin for Geany" plugin, the bug disappeared.

So, this plugin is bugged with "<" Character.

I re installed and enabled "tag pair highlighter plugin for Geany" plugin, bug came back.

I disabled "tag pair highlighter plugin for Geany" plugin, bug disappeared again.

Yes, the issue is coming from this plugin.

Good that you have debugged it to the plugin, now you should report it to the plugins issues list (sorry I don't think Github can transfer issues). Plugins are maintained by individuals who may not watch the Geany issues. Also please include version of Geany and platform you are running on.
