Same here, too; but even more drastically: Systems: Ubuntu (10.04/10.10/11.04/11.10||Gnome2|Gnome3|Unity) AS ALSO Fedora 15/16 AND Debian 6 with Gnome //GEdit 2|3
ANYTIME i drag files it is the same: The whole window crashes, but no crash-report, because the gedit process is running still in the background; only exception: under Fedora 15 with Gnome 2 GEdit hangs and tries to load the file, but by killing the window, the window itself comes back, just stopping the loading, but after ca. 1 minute GEdit crashes, though it was fully functional again the meanwhile; under Gnome 3 in Fedora 15 the window hangs, too but can not be killed; if file(s) have been dragged into a new tab, the whole system halts, otherwise other applications are not part of the problem. In Ubuntu, all versions independent if Gnome 2 or 3 used, GEdit crashes completely, but process is running. Kill has no effect. Just a full reboot helps. Another issue under Ubuntu is, that if you use auto-save, the backups become corrupted sometimes and a never before dropped file on GEdit times gets completely corrupted, not restorable. Due to the fact, that it has none to do with the system or the version, to me it looks like there is a general failure in GEdit relating to some dependency (any library). What is obvious is, that it has to do in some way with the drag-drop- functionality itself, because under all given systems, you can see, in intervals of ca. 90 to 120 seconds, that the pictograms of the files dropped, are animated moving the way you did with your mouse AND the same issue happens sometimes with latest firefox builds. (Any identical dependencies). Hope one of you core developers is able to look for the error like a pro. If you just want to response to this bug-addition by giving me tasks like 'give us tech-specs without them we can't do anything' you're just creepers. Real developers find errors by thinking, not by using coded test-cases; Bugs can not be found if the program does not know the bug. Sorry, if i was too harsh, but the experience with most self-called developers under launchpad, especially those that handle GNOME and UBUNTU are most worst; Sorry but you guys should make a step-back and get back near perfect applications like GEdit back under full control, not just relying on 'if the system don't report an error, there is no error'-humbug. Even if you feel yourself attacked, you feel like that because i am right in my statement; You should leave this comment alive, to see if anyone has to propose similar issues and to prove that i am wrong and you are right. However, thanks for your interest in my writing. Good luck brothers.
