Title:
gedit needs classic confinement
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a
strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files
in standard folders ~/bin or ~/.local or ~/.config, or standard files
such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab"
doesn't work.
As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is
important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases.
I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in
classic confinement.
Please would you do this.
Thank you
