[Pkg-geany-team] Fwd: Bug in geany autoclose plugin - ubuntu 14.10

[Павел Рощин]

Hello!

I have received few bug reports from Ubuntu users about new autoclose
plugin in Geany. Please take look at this message. I can't imagine why
autoclose plugin from Ubuntu repository doesn't work, while compiled
manually geany-plugins works fine.

Hello!

Thanks you for reporting.

I use RPM-based distributions and none of them have the bug you
described. I see that in Ubuntu my plugin doesn't work at all, but
don't know why. I checked it more
carefully and here are my results:

- Fedora 21 - works fine (see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NYouNzl.png)
- Ubuntu 14.10 - works like you described
- Xubuntu 14.04 - I compiled my plugin manually via make && sudo make
install - works fine (see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/28rkMzZ.png)

The same is true for [, ( etc but strangely, single quote and double quote don't get automatically completed as advertised in the plugin page even though under plugin preferences i enabled autocomplete for single and double quotes.

To the best of my knowledge there is no other autocompleted plugin on my system and if i disabled autoclose plugin. the problem is solved and i have to type for opening and closing characters my self. not autoclose.
