I'm probably way off base, but I changed *Edit>Preferences>Tools>Terminal*
from the default

x-terminal-emulator -e "/bin/sh %c"


to

x-terminal-emulator -e "/bin/sh -c %c"  (NOTE addition of -c parm)

and it seems to work. For example,

1. I type this into the editor:

/bin/echo 'here'; sleep 5; /bin/echo 'here again';


2. Select that text.

3. Go to *Edit>Commands>Send Selection to Terminal*

The shell commands executed properly in the "Terminal output" at the bottom
of Geany.
