> The issue seems specific to your system.
Interesting, I assumed it was a bug with Focal. I appreciate you taking the 
time to look into it!

> change the setting in gedit and see if there is a change printed
No change is printed while 'gsettings monitor' is running. Tried with other 
'org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor' keys as well. I presume this is why it 
doesn't persist? The change made on the UI does not get through to gsettings?

> gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers false
Yes this works, setting the properties with the above command persists as 
expected.
