Package: gedit-common Version: 3.10.1-1 I can confirm this issue with gedit 3.8.3-4 and 3.10.1-1.
As mlouis said editing the last line of /usr/share/gedit/plugins/externaltools/tools/open-terminal-here to gnome-terminal --working-directory="$GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR" & solves it. I have no ideia why https://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/tree/plugins/externaltools/data/open-terminal-here.tool.in doesnt have double quotes. greets --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 unstable ftp.nl.debian.org 500 stable dl.google.com 1 experimental ftp.nl.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ======================================- -=========== dconf-gsettings-backend | 0.18.0-1 OR gsettings-backend | Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================- -=========== gedit | 3.10.1-1 Package's Suggests field is empty.
