Bug Description
When you use the 'External Tools' plugin for gedit, you can create your own external tool, e.g. compiling your current document by g++. So you open the External tools window, press "+" button, enter the command name ("Compiling") and click to the command text input ("Edit" or "Editing", maybe? I use not English localisation), and... we lose entered command name (Conversely in Nautilus and the most of other programs: when we rename smth and then click out of text input, renaming saves).
We correct the name, press Enter, and name saves. Then we start entering our command... and are lost in thought because we don't know a variables like "$GEDIT_
So we googled it and entered it and selected all the parameters like "Shortcut", "Input" and others. The last parameter is "All languages". We click at it, select C++ (of course, we don't want to try to compile Python file or Plain text file in g++ ) and press Esc to close this switch, but sometimes the External tools closes and the switch remains (in my case it happens all the time until I started writing this bug report). More, the switch leaves at the top of windows and closes only when gedit closes.

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however since gedit-plugins package is not part of the default CD, this bug does not qualify as a papercut.
