Done:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3417269&group_id=153444&atid=787793

Please apply patch

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3417268&group_id=153444&atid=787793

before - it slightly conflicts with the other patch and as I want to
have it in Geany too, I didn't want to spend time resolving the
conflicts. If the "close window in MRU order" patch isn't wanted, I
can change the "MRU fix" patch to remove the dependency on the other
patch.

Here's the patch

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3417270&group_id=153444&atid=787793

Apply after the previous two patches.

I'll have a look at it when I have time.
