** Description changed: The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files in - standard folders ~/bin or ~/.local or ~/.config, or standard files such - as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab" doesn't + standard folders ~/bin, ~/.local, ~/.config, ~/.ssh, or standard files + such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab" doesn't work. Using sudoedit doesn't work, as access to /var/tmp is rejected. EDIT: ~/bin is now available to gedit. As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases. I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in classic confinement. Please would you do this. Thank you [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/-/issues/361
