<p>I download source of SciTE and run<br>
<code>make GTK3=1</code><br>
under scintilla/gtk/ and scite/gtk (on Fedora 29).<br>
SciTE runs almost fine from the command line... But the problem is still there, and it shows:<br>
<code>Gdk-Message: 21:36:23.603: Window 0xee4c80 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen.</code><br>
each time I type " or ^ dead key.<br>
A curious thing: I can type <code>^e</code> in a search/find dialog without any problem (I get <code>ê</code>).</p>
<p>Where to dig now?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I've got the same problem in the official binary of fedora 29 distro. Solved by running geany with the following command:<br>
<code>GDK_BACKEND=x11 geany</code></p>
<p>It seems to be a problem with wayland gdk.</p>
