Hi.

I notices this behaviour some months ago and posted a patch to
Scintilla [1]. It was included to Scintilla's trunk, so it has been a
part of official Scintilla releases since 2.0. Someone of the Geany
developers will have to poll LexPython.cxx from there to fix the bug
you described.

Actually, I think that would be better if there was a tradition to poll
all Scintilla releases to Geany, so users won't need to deal with
already fixed Scintilla bugs. 

Best regards,
Eugene.
