[Geany-Users] status bar and commands lock

[David Barnes]

Yep. If I start a console from a geany session, that 'process busy'
indicator will show up - somewhere. I open at least three sessions anytime
I work. Any one of them may have that indicator, and consequently, the
build menu greyed out. When I close the console, it clears.

A typical project session will have files sourced from as many as four
different directories. That means, I might want to open 4 consoles, though
usually it is just 2.
For most sessions, I automatically open 2 consoles. Since this can lock one
geany build menu in some **other** geany session on a different desktop, I
would have to close all the consoles to find the offender. That could be
ten consoles to drop before I find which is the problem.

This was not a problem in the past. I never saw that indicator in the past.

Now - this is a deal breaker.

Can that process busy indicator be supressed?
