I've enabled the visibility of spaces (these small dots). If I mark some line now (Shift+Cursor), the block isn't solid anymore. The background of the spaces does not change within the block mark.
Is there a way to change this? It is really confusing because I can't see, if the indentation of a line is marked too.

Do you mean you can't see the dots of the spaces and arrows of tabs when there's a selection? If not could you provide a small screenshot?
If so, you can see them using translucency - see the manual: http://geany.uvena.de/manual/0.14/index.html#special-file-filetypes-common
I use: translucency=8;44;false;false

I'd guess he's referring to something like this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.geany.general/773/match=highlight
The proposed 'solution':
"Just change the fourth argument of the setting "white_space" in filetypes.common[1] to false. Then the set background colour for whitespace is ignored and you get the same results as on my screenshot.

I can see the dots of the spaces, but the backgroup of the marker is not visible. See the screenshot. The whole lines are marked, but the marker isn't shown as a solid block.
If so, you can see them using translucency - see the manual: http://geany.uvena.de/manual/0.14/index.html#special-file-filetypes-common
I use: translucency=8;44;false;false
Ok, I'll try it.

This works too, but the marker is to light for my LCD settings.
I've found this here:
white_space=0xc0c0c0;0xffffff;true;true
After changing the last paramter from true to false, it works.
Does geany read both, the filetypes.common from /usr/share/geany and than the one from ~/.geany? Whats the right way to change these files? Should I copy the whole filetypes.common and change one entry? Should I keep a local copy, or can I have a simple filetypes.common with one line (to be more compatible with filetypes.common of following releases).

It seems you and Harold Aling found this, but I forgot about it ;-)

Yes, first the system file, then any settings in the user file override their system file equivalents.

I think the best way (and the docs could be clearer) is to only put the lines which override system settings in the user file.
