Hi,

I'm experiencing a bug where the project properties dialog is empty
when opened for the second time. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open project properties dialog.
2. Close it.
3. Open it for the second time.

Result: the project properties dialog is much smaller and it's empty.

I suspect it's related to the GtkBuiler transition. I haven't looked
into it because I guess Matthew knows better what might be wrong.


I fixed this in:
https://github.com/geany/geany/commit/0755b44db1a238a65d7b3cec7f8b11430c8b2f1e

If you don't mind to test around the project preferences dialog a bit to see
if you can spot any more problems it would great.

In general it seems to be fixed.

However, there's one related problem - in GProject I add additional
tab to the dialog. At the moment I'm adding the tab every time the
dialog appears because before the GtkBuilder changes the dialog was
destroyed once it was closed. Now it seems you reuse the same dialog
which means I should change the GProject behavior otherwise new and
new GProject tabs are added every time the dialog appears. If this new
behavior is official then the plugins API version should be bumped
because it changes their behavior.


Yeah, I guess that couldn't hurt, although according to the docs, this is how the API version is supposed to be used[1]:

"The Application Programming Interface (API) version, incremented whenever any plugin data types are modified or appended to."

Which is why I never touched the API version, since it's quite clear when to increment it[2].

Cheers,
Matthew Brush

[1] Although I personally dislike this in general since it does not give any indication when new functions are added or removed or like this case where behaviour is changed, nor does it give any correlation between API version and the currently running version of Geany. In other words, it seems basically useless, IMO.

[2] Despite the example in the same comment that shows it being used to guard a function, which can't actually be guarded since there's no way to know what API version to check for functions.
