With a monospaced font it works.
I don't know why i didn't used a monospaced font up from the start as  
usual.

Yes I mean the sidebar.
There are entrys like "Members", "Makro", "Struckt / Typedef" ,  
"Variablen", "Sonstiges"
(These are entrys in the german version)
All these entrys are empty.
On the otherside there are Entrys like "Klassen" and "Funktionen"  
presenting a (colapsable) tree with all classes or functions in the  
current sourcecode.
I Know these entrys are only filled, when there is a counterpart in the  
sourcecode.
But while I don't use a class there is no need for a "Klassen" entry in  
the sidebar. The same for "Makros".

Why is the Entry "Variablen" not filled even if there are variables in my  
soucecode?

here are som lines in python  (just an excerpt, not runable):
---------------- snip
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- encoding: latin-1 -*-


# todo: Errorhandling if init values are not set

import Tkinter # only needet in this prototype
import time # only needet in this prototype
werte = [1, 30, -40, 30, 50, 130, 90]


class Graf:
    '''foobar class docstring'''
    def __init__(self, values):
       self.values = values
       self.zero_line = None
       self.border_bottom = 10.0
       self.graf_upside_down = True

##
################# setters
##
    def set_borders(self, border_left, border_bottom):
    '''foobar function docstring'''
       # todo: make shure values are saved as floats
       self.border_bottom = border_bottom
       self.border_left = border_left
---------------- snapp

Filetype = *.py
Examplecode:

# this test demonstrates how the words " class comment1 " and " def  
comment1 "are interpreted by geany
## this test demonstrates how the words " class comment2 " and " def are  
interpreted by geany
''' this test demonstrates how the words " class string1 " and " def  
string1 " are interpreted by geany'''
""" this test demonstrates how the words " class string2 " and " def  
string2 " are interpreted by geany"""

Only line 3 seems to bee  problematic.
