gedit does not start from gnome-shell files search in activities overview

[aaron-bru]

System: Ubuntu 12.10 x64, gnome-shell 3.6.2, nautilus 3.6.3 compiled with --enable-tracker=yes, Tracker 0.14.1,
gnome-documents not installed

Steps to reproduce:
-Make sure gedit is not running (killall gedit), or login in to freshly started computer.
-open activities overview
-search for any plain text file and open it under the FILES heading
Expected behavior: file opens in gedit
Actual behavior: loading icon appears in top panel, but program never opens. ps aux | grep gedit shows that the process is there. Opening a file a second time from the Activities Overview works. Closing gedit and trying again results in same behaviour.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.related
