This is strange. I upgraded my Debian a few days ago and now Geany (1.29) insists on moving the cursor 25 characters to the right whenever I type a colon. There are none of the little dots indicating a space, nor the arrow that indicates a tab. There's just a chasm 25 characters wide. What on earth is that about?

How on earth would we know, nobody else has reported it :-)
If you are running with any plugins disable them all completely and try again, otherwise more information needed, we can't see over your shoulder so have no way of knowing anything about your system.

Debian isn't the fastest off the mark getting things up to date. Anyway I'm using stretch cuz it's always just worked and so I'm way behind the times upgrading. So I upgraded to bullseye (Debian 11) and Geany still has the problem. Old backup is fine tho. ... But six years old? Sheesh.

Ok, so there's no way in hell this is something deliberate.

Well, the first thing was just to confirm this isn't some 'feature' or other that I accidentally turned on. All other editors work fine. What sort of info might be useful?

Well nuts. I use a custom made font for coding (hugely exaggerated characters where they tend to look like each other, it's really nice) and somehow the thing got corrupted in a copy, and, yes, the colon character was 25 X wider than it should have been. Geany was just showing the character as the .ttf specified it. Sorry for the bother!

An older backup of my distro is ok, nothing strange about the colon. Newer Debian install (bullseye) has the problem too.
