Thanks for reporting it on gitlab! 1. That's the gedit design, the preference dialog changes the default settings, the menu at the bottom is for the current view/document. I think the idea is that you go to preference not often and set defaults there, where the bottom menu is a quick access for temporary changes
2. We call 'upstream' the people writting the software. The Gedit project is written by GNOME people and they are the one working on the code, releasing new versions, etc. Ubuntu does distribute their software (the example might be easier to understand if you think about chrome or firefox, we include those software but we are not the ones written them). The Ubuntu team does spend time working on issues and contribute to fixing problems but the people knowing the code and design of the project the best remain 'upstream' ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Also affects: gedit via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/-/issues/330 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Statusbar preferences options aren't stored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
