[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany crashes when selecting text (#1042)

[Colomban Wendling]

> I mark them from the very last row to for instance row 1000, I press backspace or del and Geany disappears right away - probably somehow exited/crashed.

Please run Geany under a debugger (gdb) and send us the backtrace:
```console
$ gdb -ex run --args geany -v
...
(gdb) bt
...
```

> Just now I even saw that it removed the file from the harddrive that I was working on.

Were you trying to save the file?  Geany doesn't touch the file until you ask to save it, so it shouldn't be possible it deleted it unless it failed to write the new version of it somehow.  You might want to give us your Geany configuration file so we can see your settings: ~/.config/geany/geany.conf`

Also, you should try to run Geany with a fresh configuration so disabling all customizations and plugins, in case something is causing the issues: `geany -v -c /tmp/temp-config/`, and see whether you can reproduce the issue or not.
