[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] GeanyLatex and "Make": Shortcuts become disabled (#282)

[BenWiederhake]

This one is hard to reproduce (sorry), and I have no idea what causes this or what is happening.

Steps to reproduce *sometimes*:

0. Install and enable GeanyLaTeX (in case it is relevant: I have only the "auto-completion" activated)
1. Create and open: A latex file and a Makefile, in the same directory (I use the makefile to compile the latex document)
2. Edit the latex file over a long time, intermittently calling "make" via the shortcut "Shift+F9" (as found in the menu)

Actual behaviour: Sometimes the "Make" menu item becomes and stays disabled. This also disables the keyboard shortcut, so Shift+F9 does not do anything anymore. Switching between geany-tabs or re-opening the file does not help. The only way to work around this is to restart Geany.

Expected behaviour: Shift+F9 and the "Make" menu item stay enabled for the whole time.

Versions: Geany 1.25 "Veed" // "(compiled on 2015-07-12 or later)"

Sorry that I can't provide a more reliable way of reproducing the bug. I have already played with different things, and have, so far, only come to the conclusion that disabling the GeanyLaTeX pluging avoids this bug. However, this is not a guarantee, since I "only" tried that for a week. Otherwise I run into that bug roughly once every two weeks, so this experiment isn't conclusive.

I continue using Geany, so if anyone can give me a better "test", or instructions on what to look for via gdb while this is happening, I'd gladly do that.
