** 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, ~/.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. + EDIT: ~/bin is now available to gedit. EDIT: Nope, not any more. 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
