<p>After a little archaeology, there was discussion about this <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/geany/bugs/730/" rel="nofollow">here</a><br>
Then it was moved to Github, mixed in with an unrelated commit in <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="1860207" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany/pull/1/hovercard" href="https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1">#1</a>.<br>
Then it was split out into <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="1896596" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/6" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany/pull/6/hovercard" href="https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/6">#6</a>, but then closed by the author <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=666493" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/losingkeys">@losingkeys</a> due to inactivity.</p>
<p>The only part that confuses me is that the above mentioned issues were to do exactly the opposite of what this question is asking for, and I cannot see any relevant changes to this code in the intervening code.</p>
