I have successfully compiled Geany from SVN and confirmed that the
focus problem is solved when I open a file via the Recent Files list.
However I can't test opening a file in the Recent Files list via File

was testing Geany from SVN on a PC with Geany 0.20 already installed
so could this be part of the problem? Am I using the wrong method to
run Geany SVN? I simply navigated to the "src" folder and (under
Linux) entered the command "./geany".
