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

Could you please attach this binary file you were reading?

[Daniel Winzen (q-d-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes, I attached the bianary file, I was reading, when gedit crashed.

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

Thanks!

Can't reproduce in Gedit 3.3.2.
When did this crash occur - immediately on opening the file? Did gedit display "There was a problem opening the file boot.exe.scr" warning?

[Daniel Winzen (q-d-deactivatedaccount)]

I used this version of gedit: 3.2.5-0ubuntu1
It crashed about 5 minuts after opening the file while I was typing some strings into my mobile-phone.
There was no warning of gedit, only the crash-dialogue of apport apeared.

Marking as Fix Released as it can't be reproduced in new version. Feel free to reopen if the problem occurs in new versions
