<p>Plugins using VTE such as multiterm or debugger are linked against the<br>
non-symlinked version of the library like libvte.9.dylib and not<br>
libvte.dylib. When a bundle is created, all symlinks are replaced by<br>
a copy of the symlinked file. This means there are both libvte.dylib<br>
and libvte.9.dylib in the bundle both containing the same code. When<br>
Geany loads libvte.dylib and plugins load libvte.9.dylib the same code<br>
gets loaded twice and when the same type gets registered by GTK, it fails<br>
and the whole application freezes.</p>
<p>This problem doesn't exist on linux or when running from the command line<br>
on macOS because the operating system detects it's the same library<br>
because of the symlink and it's loaded only once.</p>
<p>Loading the same library as the one used by plugins fixes the issue with<br>
macOS bundle.</p>
