Just to clarify I am *not* running Xubuntu. This install may well have started out as Xubuntu but it was successfully converted to Ubuntu during the Xenial cycle. gedit worked perfectly both before and after upgrading to *Ubuntu* Yakkety.
I noticed this problem yesterday so possibly caused by a conflict with a recently upgraded package? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620806 Title: gedit edit window is transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1620806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
