It is shown as Text Editor in the Unity Launcher as well as in the Dash (screenshot attached). Was that a change that Ubuntu made or was the upstream decision that it should be Text Editor in some places but gedit in others?
The bug that you linked doesn't seem to reflect the current situation on Ubuntu. It was resolved by using X-GNOME-Fullname=gedit Text Editor, but that isn't used anywhere that I can see. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2015-03-27 13:31:30.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1437395/+attachment/4358062/+files/Screenshot%20from%202015-03-27%2013%3A31%3A30.png ** Bug watch removed: GNOME Bug Tracker #590180 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590180 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437395 Title: gedit should display as Text Editor in Default Applications Status in One Hundred Papercuts: New Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In places related to choosing which application should be used to open a file, the entry should be Text Editor.
