The crash is reproducible on Precise (see my duplicate bug report #927150) -- I followed the instructions provided by fabrg in bug #926858: Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit and display File Browser (side panel) 2. Open a structure folder with some folders and files (i suggest you /home/), and expand some folder till you see some files, like -- /afolder/ --------afile --------afile -- /afolder/ --------afile --------afile --------afile 3. click "refresh view" button 4. the structure should collapse automaticaly. if not, try to refresh again untill it does. (probally gedit will crash) 5. when the folder collapse, expand it again. 6. repeat steps 3 to 5 till gedit crashes. I had to repeat steps 3-5 quite a few times but in the end gedit crashed when I clicked on the expand arrow for a directory. ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809609 Title: gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_is_a() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/809609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
