[Geany-devel] Crash when pasting a Zero-width space

And the answer from Neil is:

  This feature was actually contributed by ActiveState.

  The backtrace makes the problem appear to be in DrawBlockCaret so
you could switch to the standard line caret.

  There are features in Scintilla that I have accepted despite
thinking they are a poor idea, such as the block caret. Perhaps the
people that like this feature can work on fixing it.
