[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Segmentation Fault when opening JSON file with terminal colors (Linux) (#1768)

[elextr]

Your "JSON" file isn't JSON, its full of escape character rubbish that are terminal control characters.  Of course it will display in the terminal, but its not legal [JSON](https://www.json.org/).  The crap includes many `[`s and as the traceback shows the parser is looking for the matching `]`s recursively and running out of stack because all the `[`s make it nested too deeply.

This is therefore not a bug.
