Hello World, Hello Enrico,
geany: 0.16 "Argon" Windows: XP SP3, all patches applied
If I open geany and set it at a certain position, it does open an a completely different position and size after having closed and re-opened it. Although the checkbox "Fensterposition und -grösse speichern" is checked.
It might be a problem, if I open a second instance and close it before closing the "main" instance?
No, but when you close the second instance after the first one. But this shouldn't be new behaviour nor Windows-specific. Geany saves the window geometry (size&position) of the last running instance. More generally, this is true for all global settings.
In other words, when Geany is quit, it overwrites the config files with the settings of this instance regardless of the previous contents of the config file.
While this might seem to be stupid, Geany is simply not designed to run more than one instance at once and I don't feel like changing this. Anyway, as some kind of workaround, "nested" multiple instances should work. Where "nested" mean: Start Geany (it's your main instance), then start another one, then start a third one. Then close first the last started instance, then the second instance and finally the first one. This way, it should work to some extend.
