Unless we're looking at something different, I think unfortunately the answer may be that the snap version of Geany is simply not ready to use; you'll want to look elsewhere.... Besides it doesn't appear to be the latest version of Geany. It may be someone's "pet" project and they haven't figured out how to publish a snap. If for some reason you want to help debug the snap version, you'll want to contact the person who published it.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't use Mint but I assume it's on the Ubuntu Bionic repository, which seems to contain Geany 1.32-2.
