When I launch gedit using dash , it launches perfectly but I get some output on the terminal "** CRITICAL **: _gedit_app_get_window_in_viewport: assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed" 3. And when I close the gedit session (launched by the dash) , my terminal (from which I launched gedit which was unresponsive) exits to bash apt-cache policy gedit returns gedit: Installed: 3.2.5-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.2.5-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.2.5-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gedit 3.2.5-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-2.5-generic 3.2.0-rc3 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-2-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.90-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Dec 22 21:28:40 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20111129.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_IN:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_IN SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gedit UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/907820/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
