By default this behaviour is now disabled - it was changed a few  
releases ago. Unset 'Switch to status message list at new message' in  
the General tab of the Preferences dialog.

Ctrl-D is a Scintilla keybinding for duplicate line, which is only  
active inside the Scintilla editing widget. At the moment this is  
overridden by the comment line keybinding (with Ctrl-g for duplicate  
line). Scintilla keybindings are not configurable.
See http://geany.uvena.de/manual/apa.html

You could set a different keybinding for comment line.
The customizable keybindings are global, which is why you had the  
problem - in future the editing shortcuts could be made local to  
Scintilla too.
