It isn't limited to gedit, but seems to affect any GtkTreeView. I believe it is fixed upstream though: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/gtk/gtktreeview.c?id=022c576bd2764dc1fc48e46ad97aa95287c175cc

Rebuilt gtk with the patch and I can't reproduce the crash.

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

[Joost Van Durme (joostvandurme)]

Yep, same here. Installed Precise Alpha 1, updated all packages and when I want to select 2 files to open with ctrl in gedit, it just closes on me. All the time.

[Jason Conti (jconti)]

This is fixed in 3.3.8-0ubuntu1.
