When I disconnect/reconnect external monitors, most programs jitter for a
second. Thats annoying, but normal. Sometimes (tho not always), geany will
crash. Thats annoying (especially if I had unsaved documents), but ya know,
stuff happens.
This is where it gets interesting.
When I relaunch geany, it will have the last-known set of files open (as of the
last time I launched geany, which may have been several days earlier, if i've
had it running for several days. Any files I've opened since then, are not
remembered when I relaunch geany. In other words, when it crashes, it looks
like it can't save its known-files, and defaults to the last-known good files).
If I try to open another file while geany is open (double click in windows
explorer, clicking on the firefox downloads button, or even typing "geany.exe
somefile.txt" on the shell, with and without the -i option), geany will launch
an entirely new instance, with that same last-known set of files, plus
somefile.txt. If I try to launch a 3rd file, again, that original set of files,
+ 3rdfile.txt. What I want to happen, is that geany uses a single instance, and
opens the file in a new tab.
I suspect that when geany initially crashes, it doesn't clean up properly, and
when I relaunch it, it stumbles. No combination of closing, killing,
force-killing, taskmanager-ing, ProcessExplorer-ing (3rd party Task Manager
replacement), powershelling, etc, seems to resolve it.
Restarting explorer.exe does not fix it
Logging out and back in to Windows (with or without restarting the OS) DOES fix
it, although its a huge hassle.
After the initial crash, after I restart geany, "geany.exe --list-documents"
returns no documents, even tho I have an instance open with several documents
open. This could be related. I'm happy to look for a straggling socket file (if
I know where to look), etc.

I've been a huge fan of geany for over a decade. I'm thrilled to pieces to help
troubleshoot, pull logs, run tests, etc.
I'm on windows 10, Geany 1.36.
"geany.exe -v" (lowercase v) returns this
