Bug#649578: gedit: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: gedit

Version: 3.2.3-1
Severity: important

Hi,

not sure if this should be severity grave instead, but gedit is not left
*completely* useless, i.e. I can still call it on specific files.

However, it regularly crashes when using File -> Open and browsing through my
file system. The following messages are printed to console:

$ LANG=C gedit

(gedit:12707): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT
(object)' failed

(gedit:12707): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT

Speicherzugriffsfehler

The last word means "segmentation fault" in German.
