<p>Looks like this is some sort of incompatibility with GTK3 or a GTK3 bug??<br>
I've compiled the git version with GTK2, no issues, I can type whatever I want, japanese, corean, chinese, portuguese...</p>
<p>Steps used to compile geany:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git</code></li>
<li><code>cd * && ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk3=no</code> <- meet the autogen requirements if necessary (my case <code>sudo yum install gtk2-devel -y</code>)</li>
<li><code>make -j9</code></li>
<li>Run geany</li>
</ol>
