[Bug 1880806] Re: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04
Ah! I see why we have a discrepancy. I'm sorry, I was not explicit enough with my repro steps. Following your steps, it works for me as well. What I am doing is the following: - ctrl+alt+T - $ gedit - first line is highlighted by default - *** open the "Ln1, Col 1" menu in the bottom right corner *** - uncheck "Highlight current line" - first line is NOT highlighted now - close gedit - in the terminal: $ gedit - first line is highlighted again So, it seems that the quick menu in the bottom right corner is the one that's not working. I do not go into the "Preferences" dialog at all. If this doesn't help, I can do a video of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Could you do a screencast/video of the issue? Yes I just tried with a fresh ISO - downloaded a focal desktop amd64 iso - started it in VM on the live session - ctrl-alt-T $ gedit - opened the popdown menu - selected preferences - unselected the checkbox for the 'highlight selected line' verified that the first emtpy line is selected - closed gedit - type gedit on the command line again gedit opens with the first line not selected -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1880806] Re: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04
I do not believe that this problem is specific to my system. I just created a VM and did a fresh install of 20.04, and I can reproduce the issue there as well. Here are the steps I followed: 1. Created an Ubuntu 64 bit VM in VirtualBox 2. Downloaded the latest 20.04 image from Ubuntu.com 3. Installed it (all defaults, only clicked "next" in the install wizard) 4. Started Ubuntu, and performed the same exact repro steps right away as I mentioned in the bug description The issue is there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, I start gedit with my own user. I tried with `sudo gedit`, as well as with another, freshly created non-admin user. The issue is present with both. Nautilus is correctly saving preferences. I am not sure what other applications use gsettings under the hood, so I don't know what else I can try. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Weird, do you start gedit with your user? Do changes to other applications (e.g nautilus) are correctly stored?

Ah ok got you. There is absolutely nothing in those logs, apart from the normal messages. The log snippet below was produced by following the repro steps above.

There aren't any errors on the command line. Which portion of the journalctl log would you need? The complete log from boot, or just when I start gedit? The reason I'm asking it that the boot logs contain some personal information that I would need to redact if you need the whole lot.

[Bug 1880806] Re: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04
It's also worth mentioning that before upgrading to 20.04, I had both of those gedit settings off. Then I upgraded to 20.04, and that seemed to have enabled both those settings automatically. I've upgraded from 19.10. ** Description changed: Hi, Since upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, Gedit is unable to save preferences. By default, it came with the following: Display line numbers: on Display right margin: off Highlight current line: on Text wrapping: on I wanted to disable the first and third option, so I did. It works as long as gedit is open, but if I close and reopen it, the settings were reverted. Repro steps: 1. Open gedit 2. Toggle the "Highlight current line" preference 3. Close gedit 4. Open gedit again - 5. Observe that the "Highlight current line preference" is reverted to the original value + 5. Observe that the "Highlight current line" preference is reverted to the original value Expected behavior - Gedit presists preferences after Gedit persists preferences after closing & reopening Actual behavior: Gedit does not persist preferences after closing & reopening Workaround: Using gsettings seemed to do the trick. I've run: gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor highlight-current-line false gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers false This persists the settings correctly, so I believe the bug is related to the UI.
