Title: Gedit crashes when opening a new file Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: (gedit:24486): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_device_grab_add: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_device_grab: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_device_ungrab: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_device_grab_remove: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_device_grab_add: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_device_grab: assertion `GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed (gedit:24486): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gedit' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 250 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
