Hi again: Four things (updates), plus a follow-up question.
FIRST: Geany via gdb until fault, then interrupt/backtrace:

That's good: I like the Tree Browser plugin.
=============================================
I can live without the 'Spell Check' plugin, but very grudgingly so: I use it extensively for personal/professional use. Is there a work-around/other options? I use enchant e.g. with gedit, Claws mail - seemingly without issue ...
Thanks again for your excellent help much appreciated!
Sincerely, Victoria :-)
