[Bug 784574] Re: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started
The principle text editor in ubuntu is nearly unusable for me. Can we bump the priority on this? Related:whatever instance (either the unity instance or the nautilus instance for lack of a better description) has numerous UI bugs. For example, you can't click on the overlay scroll bar -- it appears but then disappears as you mouse over it to move it. Between having two instances of my single instance editor app depending on whether i open a text file from nautlius or from the principle app launcher is bad enough, but when one of them is crippled .. arggh! Also please mark the other bug (or this one) a dupe .. I think it's clearly the same issue (and cross posting this follow up): seems similar to bug #777292 -- 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/784574 Title: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/784574/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Good to know, the reproduction steps provided are only the ones I went through, since that is how my environment is set up to cause the bug.

[Bug 784574] Re: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started
I can confirm this is the case, however I think the bug should be low priority due to the fact that the impact isn't extremely serious, and it's a relatively niche case to have gedit in your Startup Apps. This may be a general problem though. I wonder are there any more similar cases where documents should open in existing windows but don't? ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- 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/784574 Title: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It seems not to impact Firefox for example, so maybe it is Gedit specific? -- 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/784574 Title: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Also doesn't seem to impact JuffED, which is a similar application, so for now I'll have to say this is Gedit specific. -- 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/784574 Title: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
