Kib,

One last oddball thing to try: in your ``~/.geany/geany.conf`` file,
maybe try toggling auto_complete_whilst_editing?

Actually, another trick to try might be, shutdown geany, then::

    cd
    mv .geany .geany_PREV
    mkdir .geany
    cp .geany_PREV/autocomplete.conf .geany

then restart geany and see if maybe an older config file was causing
some weirdness.

Also, I'm guessing you've already tried this, but just in case you
haven't, you might try double-checking that your source is pristine.
For me, that's::

    cd ~/opt/src/geany
    make uninstall
    cd ..
    rm -fr geany  # or ``mv geany geany_PREV`` if you want to keep it.
    svn co https://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany/trunk geany
    cd geany
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=/home/john/opt
    make
    make install
