[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany should check Scintilla status after operations (#1569)

Yeah, at least there's a chance with Scintilla, and inside GLib, it at least prints a message to the console before crashing.

I just tested with a more reasonably sized file (~500MB) and it does indeed just hang, and the process is only using the typical amount of memory (~10MB), so it surely does sound like a case where Scintilla recovered (and presumably set the status code), and Geany just carried on blindly.
