Paddy Landau (paddy-landau) wrote : gedit needs classic confinement

The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files in standard folder ~/bin, or standard files such as ~/.bashrc. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab" doesn't work.

As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases.

I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in classic confinement.

Please would you do this.

Thank you
