Bug#719025: gedit crashes when closing a tab/file

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.8.3-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable



Hi.

When opening multiple files in gedit and closing one of them, e.g. by clickin on the
"x" in the tab gedit crashes with different messages like:


$ gedit 1 2 3 4 5

** (gedit:6159): WARNING **: The specified location is not supported
Exception TypeError: "Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Context'" in 'garbage collection' ignored
Fatal Python error: unexpected exception during garbage collection
