I have another installation of Geany on windows (installed about the same time as my old linux system) and that is version 1.26 (from 2015?) and it does behave as I have described - I can spawn multiple python scripts without destroying the previous ones. It uses default 'python "%f"' command for F5 which does not seem as doing any tricks to detach the spawned process. The new version of Geany is 1.33.

Well, the answer is that it is not intended to be possible, there is
no code to manage more than one execute process.  Maybe some old
version(s) (1.26 is 5 years ago, who remembers ... well ok github
does, but I'm not an archeologist :) had a bug that allowed it, and
maybe the behaviour is different on windows, but that is not the
intention.

On my previous system I could run many and the spawned terminals were open as long as the scripts were running (pressing F5 the second time seemingly detached the terminal from Geany and third press of F5 could start a new script in a new terminal). Now the spawned terminal closes immediately after pressing F5 second time (and it kills python even if it is not finished). strace shows that the terminal gets SIGTERM from Geany. Is that a new feature? I cannot find a way how to keep the terminal running.
