[Geany-Users] Cannot paste text from NEdit into geany

[Brent Roman]

The copy/paste failure described below is associated with the update 
from scintilla v3.10.2 to v3.10.4

Git commit 4bceddb449b8727e1d8b449a5d92af5fa53a2405

All is well if I hang back on the 1.35.0 release of geany.

I'm an embedded systems guy, really not very well versed in this UI 
stuff.  Do you think any of the geany devs might be willing to replicate 
this problem?  I realize the bug is most likely in Scintilla, but I 
don't feel qualified to make that call.

Replication is super easy:

1)  Bring up an nedit text window.
2)  Type some text in it.
3)  Copy it into the clipboard
4)  Attempt to paste that text into a geany text window.
geany ignores the paste request.
