I have had Geany lock up solid a few times in Windows. This seems to happen when I am trying to adjust the size of the Message Window or the Sidebar. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be reproducible. When it happens Geany's CPU usage goes to 100% and it is completely unresponsive and will not repaint its window.
I suppose this could just as likely be a problem with the GTK port to Windows as with Geany, but I wondered if it has ever been seen before. More importantly, when it happens, is there any way to recover the changes I have made since the last save?
Thanks,
Bob S.

Hi Bob,
I can't help you directly, I don't use windows, but I'm sure it would help others to help you if you provided some info of which Geany, GTK and Glib version etc. Use geany --verbose to get them.
Cheers Lex

Thanks for the polite reminder Lex. The problem is on my workstation at work (I use Linux here at home), so I'll post the info on Tuesday.

I'm afraid geany --version won't work on Windows. At least I think to remember the console output is omitted on the command line on Windows. But you could get the info also from the About dialog.

As well as the Debug-Window should work on Windows. (In case there might popping up some errors in front of the crash)

More importantly, try starting Geany with the "-v" argument which should open a console window where the usual debug output is visible, even if the Geany process hangs and doesn't repaint itself anymore. Not sure whether there will be anything helpful but it can't hurt.
Besides of that, I don't have any idea what could be wrong. I tried but couldn't reproduce, but you said yourself you can't always.
More importantly, when it happens, is there any way to recover the changes I have made since the last save?
The only thing might be to close Geany from the taskbar hoping that the process will handle the close event in between the other endless operations it is processing. If not, killing it hardly would get it away but also loose any unsaved data.

Well, --version didn't work, but --verbose did. Here's the relevant info:
Geany: Geany 0.19, GTK+ 2.16.6, GLib 2.20.5 (English_United States.1252)

At least I'm not aware of any reports like this.

I'm afraid not at the moment.

I have this happen very occasionally on my Ubuntu machine. Currently using 0.20 r5714 (has happened with previous versions). Geany essentially freezes completely although I don't see the high CPU usage. It doesn't recover. I end up having to kill it from a terminal. Fire it up again and it all works fine.
I wonder if this points to a GTK problem rather than Geany problem? I guess I could run in a gdb session or something to see if I can catch it?
Cheers

Possibly, or part of Geany or a plugin isn't properly reentrant. I guess you can't give a definite repeatable way of causing it, but in general what are you doing when it happens, what plugins are you using, how many files, what filesystems, ie all local files or some remote ones?
I guess

That would be good if you can and post a backtrace.

In case you ask how to:
run Geany in gdb as usual:
gdb geany [...] (gdb) run [...]
And once it freezes, change back to the gdb prompt, hit Ctrl-C and type 'backtrace'. The result should help to track this down, hopefully.

What I was doing when it locked up was moving the separator between the message window and the main window. I do a lot of "Find Usage" and end up moving the size of the message window to see the results. When it locked up, the cursor was stuck with the shape that shows you are over the separator. It may have also happened in the past when I was moving the separator between the sidebar and the main window. I am curious if Ronan's experience was the same.
I have several plugins available, the only one that is active is File Browser. I had lots of files open at the time, maybe around 100. Most if not all were on the local C: drive (NTFS), although I have recently used Geany to edit another project that would have been through Windows file sharing on a Linux host running Samba. It's possible that one or two files from that project were open at the time of the lockup.
