More importantly, try starting Geany with the "-v" argument which
should open a console window where the usual debug output is visible,
even if the Geany process hangs and doesn't repaint itself anymore. Not
sure whether there will be anything helpful but it can't hurt.

Besides of that, I don't have any idea what could be wrong.
I tried but couldn't reproduce, but you said yourself you can't always.

The only thing might be to close Geany from the taskbar hoping that the
process will handle the close event in between the other endless
operations it is processing. If not, killing it hardly would get it
away but also loose any unsaved data.

Enrico
