I've had the exact same problem since I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10! I've never had it before and I've been using Ubuntu since v4 with heavy usage of gedit!!!...I can confirm all of this:
gedit 3.6.1 -open just fine when launched from Unity or the terminal -opens the second time when double-clicking or hitting enter while having selected the file (process appears on system monitor the first time I double-click though!) Very strange indeed... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827414 Title: gedit fails to start on first try, but does on the second To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/827414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
