I have this happen very occasionally on my Ubuntu machine. Currently using
0.20 r5714 (has happened with previous versions). Geany essentially freezes
completely although I don't see the high CPU usage. It doesn't recover. I
end up having to kill it from a terminal. Fire it up again and it all works
fine.

I wonder if this points to a GTK problem rather than Geany problem? I guess
I could run in a gdb session or something to see if I can catch it?

Cheers
