I guess this is caused by the fact that geany is creating a temp.
run-script by default. If you are using two instances than those scripts
might get overwritten by each other -- at least it's what I can imagine
as a possible root cause. Maybe give it a try:
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Terminal and check "Execute programs in
VTE". Given you have libvte installed on your system that should help a
little.
