Hi,

The problem is in the parsing done by scintilla, the editing component
used by Geany.

I know there were some recent upgrades to the ruby parser in scintilla.

Could you try the newly released Geany 0.21, it has a much newer
scintilla version, though the ruby updates may be too recent to be
included.

Cheers
Lex
