( I think different user threads are getting mixed in some of these emails. Some simply have no application to my issue.)


@Brush:
"Have you tried running the script from a regular terminal (or even Geany's builtin terminal in the message window)?"

Perhaps I made this overly complicated.
My scripts work perfectly. I have fifteen of them for different current working library sets.
My scripts are not a problem. Those consoles/terminals work no problem. No blocking. Only when starting a console from geany.
----------------------------------------------
I do not use F5 key.

When starting a new instance of geany, this is the command line:

    geany -i --config=/rdkl/.config/geany

I work from multiple systems; this helps keep them all the same.
Not perfect, but better.

Version is 1.27
-------------------------------------------

@Trotman(7/26):
"Because the output of build commands is parsed and displayed in the
compiler output tab only one build command can be running at a time or
their output will get mixed up and confused."

per geany instance only, right?

"So the build menu is blocked whilst a command is running.  So as I
said before, the command needs to start your terminal as a detached
process and exit immediately to get the menu back.  Did you try using
&? On *x commands are run in sh so it should work."

re: &  Yes, did that - no defference.

Normally:
I have unchecked 'Load virtual terminal support'

I have unchecked 'msgwin_compiler_visible'
I have unchecked 'msgwin_scribble_visible'

--------------------
--------------------
Starting fresh this am:

Single instance of geany:
I re-enabled  'msgwin_compiler_visible'
Dropped geany
restarted - verified 'msgwin_compiler_visible' enabled

Looked at the debug messages screen - no sign of a problem.

Loaded one project. project build section looks like:

[build-menu]
NF_03_LB=console
NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d
NF_03_WD=

My geany .config build section looks like:

[build-menu]
number_ft_menu_items=0
number_non_ft_menu_items=0
NF_02_LB=file manager
NF_02_CM=pcmanfm&
NF_02_WD=
NF_03_LB=console
NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d&
NF_03_WD=
number_exec_menu_items=0

click 'console' button in build drop down

compiler message window:

lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines (in directory: /rdkl/FB_common/defines)
/bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines: not found
/usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:682: Unable to find include file: "apps/xfce4-notifyd.rc"


However, the terminal did start in the correct directory.

Leave this up, change desktop, open a second geany instance, load a profile, start a console

compiler message window:
lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small& (in directory: /rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small)
/bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small: not found
Compilation finished successfully.

console opened correctly
no status indicator, no build menu block

First instance of geany still up, console running, build menu blocked
drop console in that first instance, the status indicator stays, build menu still blocked.
Drop geany - reopen. (second geany instance still open)
drop console on second geany instance

now:
Whichever geany I open a console on, it will block - the other will open correctly

If it runs "in Geany" (by which I assume you mean in the terminal
window) on one system and in an external terminal on another it sounds
very much like the run in VTE settings Matthew asked you to check are
different.  Please verify they are the same.
