[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Disabling Scope plugin for 1.33 (#688)

[elextr]

The scope plugin hangs Geany on some systems because it triggers a bug in some versions of the Glib libraries.

Although no longer the plugin maintainer, Scopes original developer has, to his credit, proposed a workaround [patch](https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1461) to Geany to mitigate the effect.  However despite his assurances its safe and only applies to the scope plugin, there has been reluctance to apply the patch to Geany in case it has other undesired effects.  It certainly should not be applied this close to the 1.33 release.

I therefore suggest that Scope be disabled by default for this release or until the issue is resolved so that distros don't provide a plugin that hangs without having to actually enable it.  But I don't know how to hack the m4 to do that.  Can anybody who agrees and knows how to provide a PR?
