Title:
  gedit needs classic confinement

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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 folders ~/bin or ~/.local or ~/.config, or standard files
  such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab"
  doesn't work.

  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
