gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in g_menu_model_get_n_items()

[Antoine-terracol]

Gedit 3.22 crashes upon launch whenever gedit-latex-plugin AND (the Snippets plugin OR External tools) are enabled.

Gedit works fine with onlt the latex plugin OR the snippet plugin enabled.

Steps to reproduce :

Open gedit
go to edit-preferences-plugins
uncheck all plugins
check only the snippets plugin
close gedit
install gedit-latex-plugin
open gedit
go to edit-preferences-plugins
check Latex plugin in addition to the Snippet plugin
close gedit
when attempting to open gedit again, it should segfault

To be able to launch gedit again uninstall gedit-latex-plugin
