gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance()

[Vicente Ruiz]

Binary package hint: gedit

When I clicked two times over a python file on nautilus, gedit crashed it. Immediately, I tried again and gedit worked fine.

I don't know if this bug is the same that #244292.

Thanks for your bug report. A new version of the package has been uploaded, could you try if you still get the issue and attach a new crash file if that's the case?

I found a way to reproduce this bug, I'll try to reproduce it with the new version.

snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ mkdir somedir
snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ cp dmesg.txt somedir/
snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ gedit somedir/dmesg.txt
snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ rm -r somedir/
snifer@snifer-laptop:~$ gedit dmesg.txt

Unfortunately it's still present in version 2.23.3-0ubuntu1. Reported as bug #257803.
