I solved this bug. I do not know if my workaround create other issues,
but it works properly so far.
The problem is about the way 'ord()' deals with special characters in the final
'while' of
/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/joinlines.py
It seems to be a known issue in python.
You can try it out in python:
>>> char='è'
>>> ord(char)
fails, while
>>> char=u'è'
>>> ord(char)
works.
I did not managed to rewrite a working definition of 'char' in
joinlines.py, but I believe that the call 'ord(char)' is only a test for
'while' to check is a character is found. Therefore, if a "string of
length" >1 is given as 'char', in this case, it does not matter what
character is, but only that 'char' contains a character.
As a newby of python, I solved this bug for the split/join-lines plugin
replacing the two calls 'while ord(char)' with
'while ord(char[:1])' in the final lines of the file
/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/joinlines.py,
it works!
