In one case, I was switching to a different tab. After the tab switch,
the error popup occured.

In the other cases, I was typing some text, and out of a sudden it
crashed.

I didn't see a pattern yet. Also, the crashes are not really frequent
but since I don't use Geany everyday, it's difficult to estimate the
frequency.

My impression was that the crashes came more often recently, but this
could also be just by accident (I had two crashes within one day).

One odd observation (but I don't know whether this could be related): I
have all my document encodings set to UTF-8, and one of the files I
edited, has Japanese characters in it. While I can see them well with
other text editors, Geany displays each of them as a tiny square with
the digits 0 0 0 0 inscribed. I guess this is a replacement character,
which Geany is using when it somehow thinks that it can't display them.
However, the characters comprise just normal Japanese text. Could it be
that an issue related to the encoding is causing the crash?
