I've got a pretty good work around at this point. I have found that after maximizing the application, everything is ok. So after I did that gedit was good. Seems like it does still mess up when running in a smaller window. Don't know why running under sudo would make any difference there, but it did. I'll do a full submission when I get time, just about to leave town.
