$ geany

(geany:24122): LIBDBUSMENU-GTK-CRITICAL **: watch_submenu: assertion `GTK_IS_MENU_SHELL(menu)' failed
Segmentation fault

This bug persists since last few months,
I cannot use geany anymore, because it crashes frequently because of this.

bug re-generate:

open geany, open a file or type a few lines,
go to start of line,
press shift-down arrow
geany gone..

OK, I see. It's a typo in the Turkish translation that improperly translates "%dL" to "%sS" (%d being a c-format here, expecting a digit, but %s is the format for a string -- thus, a digit is read like it was a string, leading to the crash).

Fixed upstream, and patch attached.

In the meanwhile, you can either run Geany with another language (e.g. `LANG=C geany`), or rebuild your translation file tourself using the upstream fixed tr.po (`msgfmt tr.po -o /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/geany.mo` using http://git.geany.org/geany/tree/po/tr.po).
