** Description changed: The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files in - standard folder ~/bin, or standard files such as ~/.bashrc.

As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases. I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in classic confinement. Please would you do this. Thank you [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/-/issues/361
