Editor repeat lines.
Last thing what I did was I was searching word (not sure is that causing the problem) Please see screen capture, middle is the editor and right is same file opened with vim.
uname: Linux Cauldron 5.7.8-200.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 9 14:34:51 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Fedora 32 (x86-64) Cinnamon 4.6.5

The information you havn't provided is the version of Geany and GTK and Glib (see Menu->help->debug messages)
Geany INFO : Geany 1.36, en_US.UTF-8 Geany INFO : GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.3
I remember a previous issue that showed repeated lines like that, but I can't find it just now, maybe you or somebody else with better search capability can.
Possibly #1521
Confirm with:
09:51:44: Geany INFO : Geany 1.37 (git >= 915cf6e8), en_AU.UTF-8 09:51:44: Geany INFO : GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.3 09:51:44: Geany INFO : OS: Linux Mint 20 (ulyana)
a few line contents repeat, is fixed as soon as Scintilla is forced to re-compute the display, eg by a modification.
Will wait to see if #2600 fixes it.
