[errors.ubuntu.com bug bridge]

* Impact
Gedit segfaults in some cases

* Test case
We don't have specific steps to trigger the issue but the fix is right on principle. Check that error reports stop and that there is no regression

https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/d7c6f86d74e0c09c473b25deddf3001a01dbf4db

* Regression potential
The change is in the 'open document selector' source so test that the popover UI to open recent files is still working as it should
