I just started exploring 'geany' and so far, it looks promising.
But when I try to open a file on our IBM I computer it fails to
load the file.   Geany shows the files in the shared folder that
contains the file I want, but when I select it to open, nothing
happens.   No error messages.  Geany silently ignores my
request to load the file.  Rather rude behavior, I should say.
