Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. Which version of gedit did you use, and which version of Ubuntu? I am unable to reproduce this using the steps you have described on Natty, using gedit 2.30.4. Could you please try to reproduce and if you succeed, could you please increase the verbosity of the steps or attach a screencast.
