Did you run Geany as root using `sudo` and is your `sudo` configured to not 
change the `$HOME` variable to the target user's one?

See https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1150#issuecomment-235136084 and also 
other duplicates:

Geany is not tested to be safe to run as root or via `sudo`. But if you, ensure 
that your `sudo` set the `$HOME` environment variable properly.

Can you give more details on this?
How did you configure the terminal shell to start (in the Preferences dialog, 
"Terminal" tab)?

What do the following commands output in Geany's terminal and "other editors"?

`who`
`echo $SHELL`
