Have generally used geany for editing lots of files with both regular

Running as regular user was fine, but runnings as root, would fail,
and would then mess up with regular user since it would create a
file .config/geany that was owned by root? Had to delete that file to
fix issue.
How is it failing?
How are you running it as root that it would create a config file in the
local user's home?
Why would you be running "geany" as the root user anyway?
I tested "sudo gedit" and it works fine, but of course I'm using
Wayland. If you're using X, you'll probably have to grant permissions.
