gedit crashes when zeitgeist plugin is disabled

[k singh]

Am using ubuntu 14.04, gedit 3.10.4--i just installed gedit-plugins from synaptic. While enabling the latex plugin in edit->preferences and trying to disable the zeitgeist plugin, gedit closed unexpectedly. The problem was repeated when i again opened gedit and attempted to disable the zeitgeist plugin

Also gedit file menu does not remember any of the last opened files-- so the zeitgeist plugin is of no use to me even when it is enabled.

Disabling some other plugins like multi edit, latex , join-split lines, synctex etc solved the problem of crash/unexpected closure of gedit--seems like these newly enabled/installed plugins were causing the problem and may not be compatible with each other or buggy. There needs to be some sort of rating for them--whether they are alpha, beta or fully tested.
Zeitgeist plugin can now be enabled/disabled without crashing/unexpected closure of the gedit application

Please assign this bug to technical team, this is closing gedit and keeping this pulgin enable making gedit very slow

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

Attaching the crash report for this to investigate

Just FYI, i was working on a java file in gedit and i tried to disable plugin and gedit crashed.... but then i closed that file first and then closed gedit. i opened gedit again without anyfile open and i tried to disable this Zeitgeist plugin and it worked.
So my fellow users can try this workaround.

Please try the patch attached in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752824, see if it helps.

I don't know how to apply patch.

Have found workaround for this bug.

I go to "system settings" in ubuntu 14.04 -->"security and privacy" and
disable all.

Then i open gedit and disable the zeitgeist plugin and close gedit
