I'm using the debian package of the cvs, geany 0.5.4cvs. The problem has been there since 0.5.0 though, far as I can tell.
I'm currently working on a PHP project. When working with strings I often use {$var} notation inside strings to print the value of the variable. Here's 1 example where geany would crash (segmentation fault): $sql = "UPDATE " . N7_DB_FMEXT . " SET extension='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['name']) . "', mimegroup='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['mimegroup']) . "', mimetype='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['mimetype']) . "', mimeicon='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['mimeicon']) . "', comment='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['comment']) . "', ext_allowed={$n7_ext_up['allowed']}, ext_camoflash={$n7_ext_up['camoflash']}, ext_chmod='" . n7_str_prep($n7_ext_up['chmod']) . "' WHERE ext_id='$key'";
I would type in the whole string and then add the {} surrounding the variable: ext_allowed=$n7_ext_up['allowed'] -> ext_allowed={$n7_ext_up['allowed']}
on typing the closing bracket (}) geany would crash.
I first though it was only related to using brackets inside the strings or something, but found out today that it's not. I was gonna add an "elseif" section to an if-else construct, and upon typing in the closing bracket geany crashed again. This time geany is refusing to restart though (I haven't tried restarting the comp).
I'm sorry that I can't provide better debug-info - I don't know how. But if you got any questions or things you'd like me to try I'll happily do it.
best regards, Kris
