[Geany-Users] how to change preferences?

Hi there, I have been using geany for many years and I love it

I'm running linux and geany version: "Poliff" (built on or after 2019-09-30) (Using GTK+ v2.24.30 and GLib v2.48.2 runtime libraries)

I have a setting I can't change: it is the hide search/replace dialog

I have tried a number of things including editing the config file with geany not running

I am unable to keep the dialog on screen

Here are all the settings with: 'dialog' in them: pref_main_suppress_search_dialogs=false use_native_windows_dialogs=true pref_search_hide_find_dialog=false find_close_dialog=false replace_close_dialog=false

Also the "strip trailing spaces" is fixed to strip

pref_editor_newline_strip=false

Best regards ripspin
