I got tired of waiting for this to be fixed, so I implemented a workaround.
I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named "gedit" that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option: % mv /usr/bin/gedit /usr/bin/gedit.bin % vi /usr/bin/gedit #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/gedit.bin --standalone "$@" % chmod 755 /usr/bin/gedit Hopefully this helps someone who is having this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827414 Title: gedit fails to start on first try, but does on the second To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/827414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
