Every time I try and launch a new instance of Geany, it immediately returns a segmentation fault.
$ geany -i Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I've tried with and without a *.geany file, and the result is the same. How do I diagnose this?

Can you please provide a backtrace as well as exact version of Geany?

How do I get a backtrace? Googling it, I found this page ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace), suggesting I should be able to run:
gdb geany -i project.geany 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-geany.txt
but this gives me the error:
Interpreter `project.geany' unrecognized
However, my version of Geany is:
geany 1.27 (built on 2016-04-17 with GTK 2.24.30, GLib 2.48.0)
from the standard package in the Ubuntu 16.04 repo.

Might be a broken plug-in. Might try deactivating them in the config file, then enabling one at a time.
Also, there's a PPA which could get you to newer version and plugins.

I think that's the main one.

Run
gdb geany
and than inside gdb: run -i project.geany
once geany crashed you can show the backtrace via bt
However, my version of Geany is:
geany 1.27 (built on 2016-04-17 with GTK 2.24.30, GLib 2.48.0)from the standard package in the Ubuntu 16.04 repo.
It's a quiet old version.

What does bt say?
Upgrading to the PPA version seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks.

Can you please provide a backtrace as well as exact version of Geany? And the operating system you are using.

Never mind I see you fixed it (for some reason the mail thread broke after the first post).
