Interesting, I assumed it was a bug with Focal. I appreciate you taking the
time to look into it!
> change the setting in gedit and see if there is a change printed
No change is printed while 'gsettings monitor' is running. Tried with other
'org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor' keys as well. I presume this is why it
doesn't persist? The change made on the UI does not get through to gsettings?
> gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers false
Yes this works, setting the properties with the above command persists as
expected.

Title:
Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, Gedit is unable to save preferences. By
default, it came with the following:
Display line numbers: on
Display right margin: off
Highlight current line: on
Text wrapping: on
I wanted to disable the first and third option, so I did. It works as
long as gedit is open, but if I close and reopen it, the settings were
reverted.
Repro steps:
1. Open gedit
2. Toggle the "Highlight current line" preference
3. Close gedit
4. Open gedit again
5. Observe that the "Highlight current line" preference is reverted to the
original value
Expected behavior
Gedit persists preferences after closing & reopening
Actual behavior:
Gedit does not persist preferences after closing & reopening
Workaround:
Using gsettings seemed to do the trick. I've run:
gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor highlight-current-line false
gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers false
This persists the settings correctly, so I believe the bug is related
to the UI.
