Thank you for the quick reply.

It looks like it may be sitting and waiting when I open a console from a build command button I made - sometimes. (I think I made it happen once a moment ago.)

I typically start an edit session with a script that opens from 4 to 6 geany projects on different screens, with up to 3 other terminals/file managers open on a single desktop with geany. So ... minimum 4 geany sessions with 50+ (remote) files total + 7 consoles + 2 file managers with one script.

Rarely have a problem. Some of my edit profiles are much larger.

My console command ( is:

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

Can something be used or option set, like a '&' in a script, to have geany NOT wait for a response?

At times, a side-scrolling status indicator pops up on status bar.
When this is present, all commands in build menu are greyed out.

**I can find no description of this status indicator.**
The only way to clear it is to close geany.
Closing the file or the project doesn't clear it.

Closing all other instances of geany does not clear it.

The files are on a networked drive. I have persistent connections. I have
all permissions.

I am able to edit, and save a file while in this condition.

This only happens occasionally, but means I must close down in the middle
of work
when I may have multiple files setup to make a set of changes.

This is true for several machines I use.

I believe that progress bar only appears while Geany is running a subprocess. It sounds like you're starting a build command that never exits.
