Gedit sometimes crashes by segmentation fault at closure

[Zalán Hári]

When I do not wait until the document is fully saved (or I only wait a short interval) gedit crashes with segmentation fault after a few seconds. It has not lead to data loss yet, but it is truly unpleasant, let alone if we include that otherwise it floods the terminal with critical GTK errors... (bug #2055010)

Sporadically, I had the same issue with Ubuntu 24.04 beta.
