Thanks Luke.
SRU assessment copied to the main bug description.
** Description changed:
Unable to edit or create notes in Gramps (Trusty). This has worked
prior to upgrading.
This is the same as Debian Bug #747318, which has been marked as fixed.
I have applied the Debian patch to the Ubuntu version and the problem is
fixed too.
Since the file locations are slightly different than Debian, I have
produced a patch for this.

+
+ [Impact]
+
+ This bug renders Gramps unusable for Genealogists because it is
+ critical that you can save and edit notes whilst researching family
+ trees. This is a very important function within Gramps.
+
+ The patch is very small, and is taken directly from the development release
(Utopic) which synced it from Debian:
+ diff --git a/gramps/gui/widgets/styledtexteditor.py
b/gramps/gui/widgets/styledtexteditor.py

+ 22 self.textbuffer = UndoableStyledBuffer()

+ 30 col = st_cont.lookup_color('link_color')
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Test Case 1 - Create a new note:
+ 1. Create a new Empty Family Tree.
+ 2. Goto "Notes" view using the left pane.
+ 3. Click on "+" to add a new note.
+ 4. Type something (e.g. "blabla") into the Text Field.
+ 5. Click "OK".
+ > Instead of the note being saved, you get an error message "Cannot Save
Note" and can only cancel the operation.
+
+ Test Case 2 - Edit an existing note:
+ 1. Download the example file from:
+
http://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/source/ci/maintenance/gramps40/~/tree/example/gramps/data.gramps
+ 2. From the "Family Tree" Menu, import the downloaded file.
+ 2. Goto "Notes" view using the left pane.
+ 3. Double-Click on one of the notes
+ > Instead of seeing the text you saw in the preview, the note text field is
empty. Typing in text is futile, when you click "OK" there is no error message,
but what you added to the note is not saved and is not present in the Note View
preview, only the old text.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * There little risk of regression because the patch is minor.
+
+ * The fix has been tested upstream, in Debian, and in the Ubuntu
+ Development Release (Utopic).
+
+ * In the worst case, user data could be erased if something is wrong in
+ this area of the code that has not been detected so far. But the users
+ would probably prefer to have this fix anyway, as they cannot really use
+ Gramps as intended at the moment.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Nothing further to add.
