The problem is that gedit remembers the cursor position for each file *by name*. If you rename the file to something else then gedit treats it as a new file and sets the cursor position to a "safe position", If you rename it back and try to load it, gedit tries to use the cursor position saved for that name and inits itself with a cursor position that causes it to crash.
The file having "Linux" in its name has nothing to do with it. -- gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in IA__g_list_last() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
