Did you change anything on your Geany installation recently?  Upgrading
it, enabling a plugin, changing some settings, etc?

I don't know of any obvious bug that would be responsible for this, so I
couldn't really tell.  However, it's not a behavior I've been seeing
(obviously), nor that we got several reports about.

Could you possibly try running Geany in a debugger and give us a
backtrace when the crash happens?  That could help us locate the problem
and fix it if it still exists.  For best result in the backtrace, please
install debugging symbols for Geany (I don't think you need anything
special on Mint), GLib (libglib-2.0-dbg) and GTK (libgtk2.0-dbg).

You could also try and disable some plugins to see if it helps, it could
be a bug in a plugin.
