Done, this issue now only relates to the (fake) blank text that happens on plain ascii text files.
Ran the appport command that you mentioned. ** Description changed: Problem with gnome-text-editor version 46.3 on ubuntu 24.04.2 x64 (Noble Numbat). I upgraded the computer (in place upgrades) from ubuntu desktop 20.04 LTS > 22.04 LTS > 24.04.2 LTS. The desktop computer has an nvida graphics card and I think wayland is using the version 470 of the nvidia driver. After the inplace os upgrades ended, the old reliable gedit was gone and instead I have gnome-text-editor . I pinned gnome-text-editor to the dash and start gnome-text-editor from the dash. - But gnome-text-editor has two obvious problems that make it unuseable - viz: + The symptom is: specifically when I open a plain ascii text file a few + hundreds of lines long , after a couple of seconds the app window goes + blank (even if no key is pressed), and can be restored by scrolling + up/down. But I need to view the text without it going blank! - (1) specifically when I open a plain ascii text file a few hundreds of - lines long , after a couple of seconds the app window goes blank (even - if no key is pressed), and can be restored by scrolling up/down. But I - need to view the text without it going blank! - - (2) Some of the dialog-boxes (popup windows) have text that is not readable or is blank. For example, when - I choose Menu (hamburger menu) > Preferences, the initial screen is mostly blank with some boxes indicating controls. If I scroll the slider on right-hand-side of popup window then some text becomes visible, but not all, so some controls are "invisible" and remain thus. Any suggestions for how to resolve this? - --- + --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-14 (1617 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200731) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: gnome-text-editor 46.3-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-60.63-generic 6.8.12 Tags: noble Uname: Linux 6.8.0-60-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to noble on 2025-06-18 (1 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom db2admns dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2114996 Title: gnome-text-editor 46.3 issues after upgrade to 24.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-text-editor/+bug/2114996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
