gedit crashed with signal 5 in _XReply()

I had gedit open and had a text file open. I then opened another text file in another directory (by clicking on it , not using file->open) gedit then turned dark, froze for a few seconds and then closed/crashed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

My bug report dose not contain a .crash file because apport already unpacked the .crash file into the files (Registers.txt.. etc etc. ) it attached to this report, so your statement is rather confusing to me. I am not going to file a new bug report with the same information.

duplicate of bug #1047431 ?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can replicate the same error when typing large textfiles in gedit under Ubuntu 14.04 i386. When i open a large file it works fine.
