Bug Description

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.

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?
