[Github-comments] [geany/geany] freezes frequently, unfreezes on ALT+TAB (#2658)

[elextr]

@jansalleine is probably not necessary to build Geany, its clear that Geany is waiting for communication, its stopped in the `poll()` system function ([see](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/poll.2.html)) which is usually waiting for communication from something and there is no Geany code in the backtrace beyond the startup that calls `gtk_main()`, so Geany has not asked for a screen update, or opened a file or anything else, its just patiently waiting for a keypress to be communicated.

It confirms the theory that some keypress communication from the server is going missing, maybe something in the compositor (Wayland) or WM (X11) is interecpting the keypress and holding it, and the main part of both those is of course Gnome, but that doesn't really help us do anything about it I'm afraid.
