I am having the same issue. Found a workaround: changing the "Insert date/time" plugin preference to something else, and revert back, then insert date/time works as expected, even with a newly started gedit.
To change the plugin preference: Menu Edit -> Preference -> plugins tab -> select insert date/time -> click preference button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885516 Title: I'm unable to insert date/time in gedit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/885516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
