Hi,
in the last weeks, we have changed some names of options in the configuration file and there might follow some changes. So don't be scared when some settings are restored to default when you use a current SVN version of Geany.
I recommend to delete Geany's configuration(usually found in ~/.geany/geany.conf) file when Geany 0.8 is released. This is not necessary, but so you can rid of old and therefore unused entries in the file.
Just for your interest.
Regards, Enrico
