I switched today from Geany 125 to 126 With the new version (running on Windows 7 64bit), I have (reproducibly) a strange problem with one file (its name is `irbrc`) which I had created with 125: When I want to save the file, an error popup occurs (see screenshot) which gives a "permission denied" message Moreover, this popup can not be clicked away (more precisely, when I click on OK, the popup seems to disappear for a fraction of a second, only to reappear again) I think, this behaviour of the popup window is clearly an error, because it is a modal dialogue, and I have to kill Geany with the task manager in order to continue my work It could be that Geany, after I clicked OK, tries again to fulfil the *Save* request, and finds - for whatever reason - the file still write-protected and brings up the same dialogue again

BTW, I don't think that this is *really* a permission issue, even though the message says so, because I can happily edit this file with other text editors I don't know why this file is special It is neither the name nor the content - I can use "save as" to save the file into a different directory
