Comment(by diogratia@…):

 The problem shows up for me in geany 0.18.1 and older versions under a
 fresh port 1.8.2, running Mac OS X 10.5.7. Same thing in a geany-0.25.1
 compile outside of macports (depending on macport /opt/local/lib libraries
 for gtk, etc.).

 Some menu pull downs are blank and if you can guess where a button are you
 can get an action.  Sometimes the menus are totally unresponsive.

 It appears the windows comprising geany aren't getting updated, or the
 wrong ones are being displayed on update (erroneous double buffering
 issue?)  The impression is that the problem is either in gtk or gdk.
 Works under kubuntu 9.04 with geany-0.18.1.  (I'm trying to do something
 cross platform).  Doing a 'Make Custom Target' and doing anything that
 will complete gives visible effect.  When the make exits the problem
 occurs.  Same for any other make.

 From my limited experience when users (and we qualify) see these things
 and developers don't, it relates to execution environment that modifies
 behavior differently.  I tend to see lots of gnome and KDE things.  One
 example that comes to mind is gtkwave, which would crash until you threw
 out your configuration tree, then when the tree is reintroduce magically
 work right thereafter.  Blowing off your ~/.kde stuff does wonders to
 fixing first time run problems.

 If I had to hazard a guess this relates to how gtk is built and a missing
 constraint somewhere.  The fault could be in geany, the gtkwidget
 operations seem sparse there.  I found this ticket when looking for
 inspiration on fixing the problem.
