Tagmanager Format does not display correctly in Geany Pryce #4299

Which OS? Sounds like the Debian bug where they "fixed" the encoding of this file, which broke it. IIUC they fixed it, but not sure in which version. |

Mint 22.1 derivative of Ubuntu Noble 24.04 (which of course is based on
Debian).

Can you check the encoding of this file? If it's utf8 then it has been corrupted by a "fix". If that's the issue, you can replace it with the upstream version with no problem. Otherwise we'll have to figure it out further. Just to be sure: your problem is that calltips (I formations about the current symbol/function while you type) contain garbage, right? Worse case scenario you can disable calltips in the preferences somewhere I think (sorry I'm not in front of my computer and don't remember all prefs by heart – I know I'll disappoint some, sorry…) |

Yes it is UTF8 text at least that is what the ‘file’ command says. Yes the call tips contain extraneous garbage characters. How do I replace with upstream version and how many other such files would I need to do that for?Thanks.

You'll probably need to replace all |

Thanks. Downloading and replacing the tag files fixed this problem.
Wonder why the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint people can't fix it since it is so simple.

They did, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1086558 and #3993. |
Ex. In the /usr/share/geany/tags/std99.c.tags
the entry for fprintf
fprintfÌ1024Í(FILE * __stream, const char * __format, ...)Ö0Ïint
displays as is complete with the garbage/control/formatting extra characters between fprintf word, and the (FILE word.
The garbage at the end also displays
Very distracting when I am trying to code.
If this can't be fixed how do I turn off this annoying pop-up?
