Hi Matthew, thanks for your help. I'd like to help Today I found a bit of time debugging my geany build in GDB, it's definitely not a bug in Geany or Scintilla, as the gtk behaviour is different. It seems like the selection_received signal doesn't get through - in my Linux environment
void ScintillaGTK::ReceivedSelection(GtkSelectionData *selection_data) is correctly being called with the selection_data containing the correct selection. In OSX, the signal_received event is emitted after a delay of 2-3 seconds and selection_data is empty. I'm now doing a complete installation of gtk from scratch (maybe I'm packaging geany directly on osx, I don't think the regular OSX user is currently able to use geany, which is a pity).
