The other side of the medal is that Geany itself is not affected, just a 
plugin that the author itself considers orphaned/unmaintaned, so I'm not 
sure a non-trivial change inside Geany is justified.

FWIW, I'm not against merging the change, I don't feel very strong. I'm 
rather indifferent since I don't use scope (doesn't support gtk3).

But if we accept it, then better for 1.32. This is sitting for a long 
time already and has been tested by at least two individuals already.
