Today, I can no longer reproduce this even though the version of geany
hasn't changed. The problem might have been in one of the dependencies.

Bug#1035572: geany crashes often when clicking to switch focus

[Arthur de Jong]

Package: geany
Version: 1.38-1+b1
Severity: important

Geany crashes for me on a regular basis. After some experimenting I've
found a way to reproduce this:

- start geany
- from a new terminal open a not-yet-existing file:
geany /tmp/some-file.txt
- click a bit between geany and the terminal window

I think I've seen this also with files that do exist but the above
triggers the crash for me after a couple of clicks.

This is running under Gnome desktop with reasonably default settings.

Attached is a gdb backtrace.

Thanks
