You get this error when elevating privileges to root using sudo, gksu or pkexec. Further you can't set default tab stops, tabs to spaces, font, it doesn't return to last save position and the entire top line menu dissappears.
I'm curious whether creating an account called "root" will setup configuration files for gedit to save to??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575484 Title: "Set document metadata failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/1575484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
