This beeps every time Geany recolours a document.
Ok, I tried it (gdb is a very cool debugger:-)) and it did not colourise when changing workspace.
The only thing, I can think of now, is missing double buffering in the editor widget. Could that cause this behavior ?
Not sure. Maybe. But if so, it would be probably more a problem in Scintilla. Can you reproduce the issue with Scite?
Anyway, even if it would be the Scintilla widget, in one of your first mails you said it's the whole Geany UI which freezes, so it's rather unlikely Scintilla is at fault.
Frank mentioned composite settings (btw, please don't compare Geany with Firefox or Thunderbird, these are not really GTK apps :D), maybe it's related to this or to the used video driver or some weird combination of those.
But this should be easy to test with some other "real" GTK app which has a somewhat big UI (which pidgin not has compared to Geany's one).
