[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Crash on ctrl-c large amounts of text (#2752)

[elextr]

The message:

```
The program 'geany' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 6801 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
```

tells you what the problem is, the GTK library and the X server got confused about something.  

How big is the file? How much free memory do you have? Is some internal limit of the X11 clipboard being exceeded?

Version 1.27 of Geany is nearly 5 years old, perhaps try a new version (1.37.1 now) and see if the problem persists.
