I have had Geany lock up solid a few times in Windows. This seems to happen when I am trying to adjust the size of the Message Window or the Sidebar. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be reproducible. When it happens Geany's CPU usage goes to 100% and it is completely unresponsive and will not repaint its window.

I suppose this could just as likely be a problem with the GTK port to Windows as with Geany, but I wondered if it has ever been seen before. More importantly, when it happens, is there any way to recover the changes I have made since the last save?

I have this happen very occasionally on my Ubuntu machine. Currently using 0.20 r5714 (has happened with previous versions). Geany essentially freezes completely although I don't see the high CPU usage. It doesn't recover. I end up having to kill it from a terminal. Fire it up again and it all works fine.

I wonder if this points to a GTK problem rather than Geany problem? I guess I could run in a gdb session or something to see if I can catch it?
