Hi, all!
I've done further testing, and logged the result to a text file, for your
inspection. I open gedit, bang in some text, then try to save the text to
a file, not yet created. After choosing where the text should be saved,
using the dialogue, I hit the 'save' button. It appears, gedit tries to
open the file that is not yet created, then crashes with a 'segfault'.
Next, I 'touched' the file I want to make, and restarted gedit. I banged
some text into the editor, and tried the 'save-as' operation, as before.
This time, I was prompted whether to replace the file (this is cool), the
file, though empty, is there. I say 'yes', and there's another
'seg-fault'.
Hoping this helps someone,
Dave Hunt

Running Ubuntu 11.10 and using Gnome fallback position, though I'm not sure
the desktop matters, I can no longer use the 'save-as' file picker in

no file saved. This worked after install; I'm not sure what I changed.
Any idea where to look?
Thanks,

Clearly the Linux gods are telling you to use Emacs. ;-) (I kid, I kid...)
Can you reproduce this bug? Does it always happen when you try to save a
file, or only sometimes?
If you launch GEdit from a terminal and then get the crash, are there any
error messages left in the terminal?
There are a couple of bugs in Launchpad with crash-on-saving issues
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/832117 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/839760 -- though the
latter is marked incomplete), but they all seem to concern crashes where the
file is saved successfully despite the crash. Depending on what sort of error
you're getting, it might be a good idea to file a new bug for this.

P.S. -- sorry for the repeat emails, Dave -- I forgot to select "reply list"
on my first one. :-)
