Opening binary files with long file names makes interface strange

[Lukas Sabota]

When you open a binary (or any file without proper character encoding), the gedit window that is raised will look quite odd. The error message will take 3/4ths of the screen, but a yellow box will overlap it a little tiny bit. You can reproduce this error like this:

$ gedit /bin/ls
Notice the yellow box, and how it overlaps the message

I will attatch a screenshot.

Also, if the filename is long, the window is especially odd looking. You can reproduce this bug like this:

$ cp /bin/ls ~/
$ mv ~/ls ~/reallyreallylongfilenameblahblah
$ gedit ~/reallyreallylongfilenameblahblah

Notice how the error message is half in the yellow box, but half in the message window. Strange. I will attach a screenshot of this behavior.

I am using the latest Ubuntu dapper, x86

Notice the yellow box.

Very strange.

Could you try with another theme than the default ubuntu one ? (for instance stock clearlooks). There are a few issues related to the new ubuntu theme (some of them happening with the yellow box) so let's see what this one is related to...

This works fine in clearworks, the error correctly appears in the yellow box.
