Bug Description

Opening a file through the system file browser (using open icon, or ctrl+o) works for one file, but causes Geany to crash to the desktop when trying to open the second file.

Opening files by dragging and dropping from the gnome file explorer works just fine, and is the work-around I'm currently using.

this is a regression caused introduced between:

libgtk2.0-0 2.24.5-0ubuntu7

downgrading to 2.24.5-0ubuntu7 fixes the problem

OP here.

Contrary to what Adar wrote above, I'm still seeing the issue, even after running update-manager this morning, with a reboot for good measure.

No worries though, I'm sure the fix will come through soon. I'm thrilled to have had my bug addressed -- I've received much better support than any commercial OS I've ever used! :-)

Closing the geany task since it's confirmed in #6 to be a Gtk+ bug.

Ignore my #19, it's still occurring. Same package versions as #20.

I am still experiencing the issue but could not wait until it gets resolved. So found the solution myself is to open a file in geany on CLI. This is a temporary fix.

$ geany foobar
So you can now open a new file using CTRL+O without crashing geany. :)
