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?
Possibly, or part of Geany or a plugin isn't properly reentrant. I guess you can't give a definite repeatable way of causing it, but in general what are you doing when it happens, what plugins are you using, how many files, what filesystems, ie all local files or some remote ones?
I guess
I could run in a gdb session or something to see if I can catch it?
In case you ask how to:
run Geany in gdb as usual:
gdb geany [...] (gdb) run [...]
And once it freezes, change back to the gdb prompt, hit Ctrl-C and type 'backtrace'. The result should help to track this down, hopefully.
