[Github-comments] [geany] Geany crashes suddenly (#795)

[hhallen]

For what it's worth, I have been plagued by occasional crashes since I started using Geany version 1.26.  I work with two different PCs. They both run Windows 7 64-bit; one is new and was set up in late November 2015 (it was in fact setting up this new PC that caused me to download the latest version of Geany). The other computer has been in use with the current configuration (except for the Geany update) for a couple of years at least.

Crashes occur irregularly, on average maybe 2 - 3 times a week, on both PCs. When I used Geany version 1.23 on the older PC (which I did since shortly after it was released, until early December 2015 - I never used any version between 1.23 and 1.26), I never had a single crash.

I use Geany as my primary editor and use it heavily, editing a considerable number of source code files, scripts etc. every day. I tend to have Geany running all the time, opening, modifying, saving and closing files in separate tabs within one instance of Geany.

I can't see a pattern where some specific action, file, or type of file trigs the crash. My files are C and C++ code, Python scripts and the like, with UTF-8 encoding.

I installed Geany with the bundled GTK+, and I don't use any plugins.
