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

[Romanos Dodopoulos (rwmanos)]

I had also a php file open at gedit. Gedit crashed when I pressed to open a txt file (from firefox).

[Eddie Kane (eddiekane150)]

updated bash script and gedit grayed and crashed. script not affected.

[Elvis Dominguez (elvisd79)]

Had 5 (3 in read-only mode) files open, tried to close 4 of them with ctrl+W and gedit grayed out and then crashed.

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

Seems to be an issue with the zeitgeist plugin inside gedit (incorrect ref-counting?)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Siegfried, assigning to you, mhr3 said you would have a look to it

[Manish Sinha (मनीष सिन्हा) (manishsinha)]

The gedit datasource which caused this issue is upstream
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/tree/plugins/zeitgeist

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

So ZeitgeistLog was being free'd once a tab was closed (but then still used for any other tabs). Fixed it here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/commit/?id=4d7222562430379055e323f561c197dcb4106477

Not sure if that's the cause of this bug, but I couldn't spot anything else.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gedit - 3.3.2-0ubuntu3

---------------
gedit (3.3.2-0ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/git_invalid_unrefing.patch:
    - don't call unref on tab close, that leads to segfaults (lp: #903975)
