Summary: Closing cscope kills editor
Initial Comment:
I am attempting to use gedit as my editor when running cscope. To do so, I set
my 'editor' to be a bash script which contains the following:
#!/bin/bash
gedit $2 +$1 2> /dev/null &
When I close cscope, gedit also closes. How can I prevent this? I've tried
other editors besides gedit but get the same result.

You can't, because that's exactly how cscope calling an external editor is
supposed to work. The $EDITOR is supposed to behave like a traditonal vi,
i.e. run in the foreground, blocking cscope until you're done editing that
file, then get you back to cscope.
You would need something like (X)Emacs' server-mode + gnuclient/emacsclient
method, where the big editor is run independently as an "editing server",
and a small program ({gnu|emacs}client) hands editing requests to it. The
difference to what you're doing is that {gnu|emacs}client blocks and waits
until you close that particular file in (X)Emacs using C-x # instead of the
usual C-x 0. This informs emacsclient that you're done editing that
buffer, so emacsclient terminates itself and gives control back to the
terminal. I have no idea whether gedit offers a feature like emacs' server
mode --- but most likely it doesn't.
