[Geany-Users] Cannot paste text from NEdit into geany

The copy/paste failure described below is associated with the update from scintilla v3.10.2 to v3.10.4

Git commit 4bceddb449b8727e1d8b449a5d92af5fa53a2405

All is well if I hang back on the 1.35.0 release of geany.

I'm an embedded systems guy, really not very well versed in this UI stuff. Do you think any of the geany devs might be willing to replicate this problem? I realize the bug is most likely in Scintilla, but I don't feel qualified to make that call.

Replication is super easy:

1) Bring up an nedit text window. 2) Type some text in it. 3) Copy it into the clipboard 4) Attempt to paste that text into a geany text window. geany ignores the paste request.

After updating to:

1.36 (git >= 825acb21) "Poliff"

(built on or after 2020-03-25)

Using GTK+ v2.24.32 and GLib v2.58.3 runtime libraries

On a x86 Debian Buster Linux machine

I find that I can no longer paste text from NEdit (Nervana Editor) into geany.

This works fine on earlier geany releases.

[1.29 "Jowar" for instance.]

Before I dig deeper into this, could someone please try to verify the issue?

Or, is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance for any info,
