Same issue here, but I'm using ssh mounted folders (GVFS)
After editing a remote file in geany, the file is empty.
Editing with gedit is no problem.

I've also tried the lucid version of geany picked from https://launchpad.net/~geany-dev/+archive/ppa but the problem is still present...

Same problem on Maverick Meerkat 32-bit beta. I thought I was going crazy.

Saving to a network drive mounted via FTP or SSH results in a blank file. Saving locally works fine. I did not notice this problem before upgrading to Meerkat.

This bug also affects me. I use Geany for my everyday work and there is a problem with saving file via ssh. Gedit works fine.

Same problem on Maverick 64: i used Geany for a lot of time, then switched to Maverick 2 days ago and today i thought i was going crazy o_O
Note that i also tried Geany from GIT (w/ plugins) and same thing happens: Gedit works fine instead.
AFAIK, it affects any and only gvfs mounts, both smb and ssh exhibit the problem.

To add more information: i read somewhere the user should be made member of the "fuse" group for gvfs to work properly but my newly installed 10.10 didn't add me as a "fuse" member, so i added it.
Either ways GEdit works fine but not Geany.

Bug 643253 looks very similar, a workaround discussed there seems to be to change ~/.config/geany/geany.conf and set use_safe_file_saving from FALSE to TRUE.
