Tools->Configuration Files-> etc toggles comments when it opens the file for the first time, which should add #~ to every line. Have you changed the toggle comment setting for .conf filetypes? The reason this is done is because the edited file is saved in the users config, and overrides the system file. If all settings were set in the user file any fixes in a new version of Geany would be overridden by the old user settings. So they are all commented out (using toggle comment) and the user can just toggle comment for the section titles and settings that they need to change, leaving the rest to be the system values.
