Hi Everyone,
I wonder if this is a bug and if so if it is a geany bug or the tool kit that geany uses.
to reproduce click save click browser folder click create folder type "a\n" type "b"
expected "b" go into the name field observed "b" goes into an unamed test field that magically appears
see attached png
Sincerely,

"It's not a bug it's a feature", and it's from GTK (the toolkit).
What happens to you is that when you hit "enter" after entering the new directory name, the focus in on the file list (where you just edited the name) not in the filename entry. And the file list has a built-in search-on-type feature that you trigger by typing the "b".
So again, that's a GTK thing and I doubt we can reasonably do anything about it. If you still think this is a problem, you could try reporting it to the GTK porject.
