All the build actions spawn a subprocess and wait for it to finish, reading the output and parsing for errors. Only one stream can be read/parsed/displayed at a time, so the build UI is disabled until the current build is finished. If for some reason the build does not finish, Geany will wait forever with the UI disabled.
You provide no information on platform or versions, but maybe the end of the build process goes missing, or the build process hangs, possibly waiting for user input which will never come.

Hi all,
I've yet to detect the mechanism that causes the issue but:
- Sometimes, the Make, Build buttons and 'more make actions' dropdown
get disabled (grayed out).
- The only way (I found) to regain the buttons seems to be restart Geany.
After checking several reports on this, most of those seem to suggest some missing tool. That's not my case. I can use the buttons for hours, but then suddenly they remain disabled...
Any suggestions?
