This still affects Ubuntu 16.04. I see that gnome-software shows the title as gedit rather than Text Editor. That leads me to believe that there is a problem with the .desktop files or the appstream info gedit is providing.
Maybe Unity is using a special value and that's why Unity shows Text Editor in the Dash but gedit is used everywhere else. ** Attachment added: "Gnome Software shows gedit rather than Text Editor." https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1437395/+attachment/4786109/+files/gnome-software%20screenshot.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437395 Title: gedit should display as Text Editor in Default Applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1437395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
