Bug#662098: Removing line with Ctrl+D sometimes is not undoable
Hmm, I should be subscribed to the bug now. Thought I was. I haven't used gedit for a long time now, and instead Pluma 1.6.0 from the MATE Desktop Environment, which is a fork of gedit (2.*, I think). FWIW, I have no issue with Pluma. From what I remember it was not easy to reproduce. I know I tried for several hours different ways. It would only happen when I was not trying to observe it. My theory is that the undo stack becomes corrupted in some situation (for example, pointers are assigned incorrectly). A review of the code that has to do with undo/redo and line-deletion would probably discover the bug if it is still there. ~ Patrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#662098: Removing line with Ctrl+D sometimes is not undoable
Package: gedit Version: 3.2.6-1 Severity: grave Sometimes I accidentally press Ctrl+D (which removes the current line) when I meant Ctrl+S (save document). This used to be fine before (in the amazing 2.x versions), because I could simply hit Ctrl+Z (to undo) and then Ctrl+S to save the document as I intended it. In this version however, sometimes the line is not restored with the undo command. If I'm lucky, I pressed Ctrl+S just before I accidentally pressed Ctrl+D and I can undo by re-loading (File - Revert) the document. Usually more text is removed after undoing a Ctrl+D command, and some text end up selected. It doesn't happen always though. I suspect that it has to do with the undo history filling up and once that happens undoing Ctrl+D doesn't work correctly anymore. Undoing it will then present the document as it was much further back in the undo history (at least that's what I think it is). I'm also pretty sure that redoing doesn't bring back what I had before an incorrect undo happens. So I cannot undo a faulty undo. On the other hand, to be fair, I lose faith in the undo system when this happens so since I save so often I'll rather just reload the whole document to be sure nothing has been accidentally removed or readded. I'll try to be more observant next time it happens so that I can give more information. Please tell me if you want me to test or look into something.

Sorry, I thought it was an appropriate severity level. The bug causes data loss, and I think a package with a bug like this is unsuitable for stable release (so it should be important that it is noticed and fixed before wheezy goes stable).
