gedit crashes when clicking mouse-buttons in text-section

[Eric Feliksik]

Binary package hint: gedit

Gedit 2.14.3:
I wonder if any developer or other user can reproduce this; it happens on 2 of my dapper systems:
1) start gedit
2) put your mouse in the middle of the empty screen
3) don't move your mouse while doing the following steps:
4) push left mouse button & hold
5) push right mouse button, release
6) release left mouse button
7) click left mouse button
gedit crashes! if not, repeat 4-7, but often it's not necessary. Gedit also crashes if you have text in the screen.

Thanks for your bug. That's known upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344826

That seems to work fine now, might be fixed with GTK 2.10 according to upstream comment. Is anybody still having the issue with edgy?

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

sebastien no i am not. but i was never able to reproduce this bug either on edgy.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Marking as fixed for now then. Feel free to reopen if you get the issue again

I am using gedit version 2.14.4 in ubuntu 6.06.1 amd64 fully patched. The same problem is still there.
