[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Execute button has no effect with Windows 10 (#1018)

[elextr]

@tulatows to summarise:

Unfortunately you have uncovered a bug in the "builtin" action of the execute command.

There have been many posts because there are two conversations happening:

1. attempts to confirm, and characterise the bug and to consider possible fixes

2. attempts to find interim workarounds

Both conversations are important, but unfortunately posts about one conversation can seem irrelevant and even obfuscating to the other.

As far as the bug goes, as I understand, it currently appears to be related to which drive or share the file is on and which one Geany is on, not the version of Windows.  IIUC if both Geany and the file are on the same drive/share it will work.  Please advise if you observe otherwise.  This is the bug that needs fixing and is the one the issue is marked "bug" for.

As for the workaround, your latest version appears to be the best that can be done, it works, but with a flash of the terminal window.  As explained above the terminal window is an intended behaviour of the execute command and is not avoidable.  This is why the "builtin" action was added since it does not use the terminal.  The appearance of the terminal is annoying for your workaround but it is not a bug that needs to be fixed.
