The good news:

I've figured this out.  See: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2708

The bad news:

The bug is completely deterministic and much worse than I thought.

I won't trouble you with the details of false correlations, mis-directions, confusion and frustration that has beset me the past few days.

Suffice it to say that if we hadn't butted heads over our very different experiences with geany, I never would have looked at the things that I needed to look at to resolve the ambiguities.

Long story short: we are both right.

You are correct that geany is designed for single execution.

I am correct that all I have ever experienced is a wonderful development environment for multiple simultaneous processes.

I am now closing this issue, which is only useful in the sense that it led to clear understanding as expressed in: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2708

Resolving https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2708 is up to you and the geany developers.  I can only hope you take heed of my concluding remarks.  As of now, I wash my hands of this and return to my other tasks, since I now have a deterministic understanding of how to control the anomalous behavior of geany that actually is not anomalous, but only very complicated.
