Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.10 gedit version 3.6.1-0ubuntu1

Gedit crashes with syntax highlighting of "Defaults" selected in a non-empty document. Not sure what is supposed to happen, but I often select it accidentally by simply clicking on the syntax highlighting selection box. When this happened on a saved document, gedit remembered the selection and crashed every time I opened that file.

Steps to reproduce (in any order):
 - Select syntax highlighting "Defaults"
 - Type anything into the document

Standard Error Output:
GtkSourceView:ERROR:gtksourcecontextengine.c:5421:update_syntax: assertion failed: (state->context != NULL)
