Thanks ... but I was hoping to have my homework done form me ;-)
"Match whole word", "Match from start of word" and "Use escape sequences" do not apply to regexes, so those settings are made insensitive (greyed out) when regex is set. Insensitive UI items cannot be changed which is why it behaves the way you observed. It is not a bug, its the way the toolkit works.
Yeah, I know the "Match ... " is incompatible, but I was expecting it to wink out, or something. Looking closely I see what you mean, the tick turns subtly grey but it's really hard to notice. Again, it's hardly important, but maybe if the whole icon turned red or something it would be noticeable. Nevermind!
How "grey" it becomes is set by your GTK theme and thats outside Geanys control, but you can customise it with Menu->Tools->Configuration Files->geany.css" (if it _really_ matters, you would have to learn GTK CSS;-)
Oh, and I did my homework :-)
As the proverb said "Give a man a regex and you feed him for a day, teach him to regex and you feed him for life" ... or something like that ;-)
Thanks Lex.
