Ah! I see why we have a discrepancy. I'm sorry, I was not explicit enough with my repro steps. Following your steps, it works for me as well.
What I am doing is the following: - ctrl+alt+T - $ gedit - first line is highlighted by default - *** open the "Ln1, Col 1" menu in the bottom right corner *** - uncheck "Highlight current line" - first line is NOT highlighted now - close gedit - in the terminal: $ gedit - first line is highlighted again So, it seems that the quick menu in the bottom right corner is the one that's not working. I do not go into the "Preferences" dialog at all. If this doesn't help, I can do a video of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880806 Title: Gedit unable to save preferences on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1880806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
