Public bug reported: Geany use socket-file session like "~/.config/geany/geany_socket_ubuntu__0" to share data for multiple opening geany by "single" user.
By a bug is that, when running "geany" and "sudo geany", only either can be open, because their socket-file sessions are conflict. This situation make geany look buggy. I suggest a brief sollution to solve this problem, by adding gid to socket-file which aims to divide sessions of multiply users -> In "${GEANY_SOURCE}/src/socket.c", changing the following line: socket_info.file_name = g_strdup_printf("%s%cgeany_socket_%s_%s", app->configdir, G_DIR_SEPARATOR, hostname, display_name); into: socket_info.file_name = g_strdup_printf("%s%cgeany_socket_%s_%s-%d", app->configdir, G_DIR_SEPARATOR, hostname, display_name, getuid()); will make it work normally, and I have tested that.
