Bug Description

Gedit crashes when opening a certain file (both from command line and GUI):

$ gedit NOTES.txt
**
ERROR:../../gi/pygi-argument.c:1586:_pygi_argument_to_object: code should not be reached
Aborted (core dumped)

Other files (also from the same directory) work fine. Copying the file to a file with same content, but different file name will trigger the bug also for the new file.

Ubuntu 15.10, gedit 3.10.4-0ubuntu13

Thank you for your bug report. The error is a python one so it's likely due to a plugin. could you try to disable those and find which one has the issue?

oh also if you could add an example of file creating the issue to the bug that would be useful

multiedit plugin causes the error.

I couldn't trim the file sufficiently to share it here, but I can send it by email for the purpose of bug fixing.
