Bug Description
[ Impact ]
When launching gnome-text-editor by opening a file the window appears briefly before crashing if there was an unsaved draft.
This was fixed upstream by adding a NULL check.
[ Test Case ]
* In the terminal run `gnome-text-editor`
* Create a new tab
* Type anything in the document, without saving.
* In the terminal press Ctrl+C to terminate the process.
* In the terminal run `gnome-text-editor foo.txt`
* Verify that Text Editor launches without crashing.
[ What could go wrong ]
gnome-text-editor is the default text editor in Ubuntu Desktop; if it is not working the user could look for alternative text editors in the application store.
The patch is very unintrusive, it just adds two NULL checks.
We do not expect any possible regression.
[ Other info ]
The previous SRU phasing was halted due to this bug.
This will allow the previous SRU to procede. bug 2070283
