Binary package hint: gedit
Version of Ububtu: 9.10
Gedit Version: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
I quite often open files by dragging them over the top of an open application. This can be of great use when opening multiple files in multiple directories. Normally the file would open with no problems. In this case, I had opened about three previous XML files, and upon opening the new one, it showed a blank content (as if the file had no content), and then gedit crashed.
The files were being opened from a Samba share, mounted using smb://<location> (rather than in fstab).
I believe the connection to the Samba file system may have been dropped (as this happens with this specific file system on occasion).
