Noticed the same problem (uncomment commentary lines) in

filetype_extensions.conf
geany.css
snippets.conf
...

Oh boy, this looks like a pervasive issue.

If I go to "Tools --> Configuration Files --> Filetype Configuration", and choose anything in there, the file that comes up seems to have this same problem: lots of lines that are just prose/commentary, but they're not commented. (Not sure what this means, but in the window title bar they say paths like ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.whatev, but in that directory I only see filetypes.common and filetypes.README.
