I got tired of waiting for this to be fixed, so I implemented a workaround.
I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named "gedit" that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option: % mv /usr/bin/gedit /usr/bin/gedit.bin % vi /usr/bin/gedit #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/gedit.bin --standalone "$@" % chmod 755 /usr/bin/gedit Hopefully this helps someone who is having this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877706 Title: In unity-2d gedit from dash does not show window the first time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
