** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gedit
  
  Trying to open a python script. It worked one time but crashes on any
  subsequent attempt.
+ 
+ The crash happens *consistently , mainly* for files which are several lines 
of text and have been edited previously by the user profile.
+ The crash seems to occur when gedit is trying to place the cursor and change 
focus to the same location of the last edit by the user.
+ [If the same file is opened in a different user account, which has not edited 
the file, crash does not occur . Since the user has not edited the file and 
cursor is placed in the first line now]
+ 
+ Workaround 1:
+ 1 - Open a file which has *not* been edited previously. [or an empty file]
+ 2 - now open the file which causes the crash.[the file opens in a new tab] no 
crashes will be noticed now.
+ 
+ Workaround 2:
+ 
+ 1 - Before closing the file you are editing , reposition the cursor in the 
first line and then close the file. 
+ 2 - Now opening the file later will not cause the crash
+
