After a new install of Ubuntu 18.04, had a funny problem where Geany File Open would lead to the application being greyed out, as if the dialog box had opened, but no dialog box being visible on screen. Googling found the answer in this thread, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2395250
Apparently, 18.04 configures 2 screens even when there is only one screen. Fix was to go to Settings and change to one screen.
Still there is a problem with Geany's scrollbars - the scrollbars don't redraw after scrolling, leading to the whole scrollbar becoming an orange colour instead of just the orange scrollbar handle. My initial installation was a minimal Ubuntu desktop. Later, installing unity did not help.
Edit: This post seems to have the solution - installing a newer version of Geany from the ppa solved the scrollbar issue.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geany-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geany geany-plugins-common
