Dear Maintainer, I recently did an apt-get dist-upgrade and updated my gedit. The update led to there being no ability to adjust preferences directly from the gui. This may be related to another bug which is that the plugins are no longer applied. I'm going to file that soon. One other bit of differing behavior, though maybe intended with the update, is that gedit produces no error outputs to stderr when running as myself, normally I get a good amount of text. When I run as root I get this data to the terminal. On launch: (gedit:21966): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed (gedit:21966): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed (gedit:21966): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) Once typing, non-repeating (shows only once): (gedit:21966): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_application_inhibit: assertion `application->priv->sm_proxy != NULL' failed So I've always seen stuff like this though and would before see plenty of it when running as myself. With the mention of dconf in those errors I know what you might be thinking. I think I've seen that there before. To check I went to my other system running jessie that was updated earlier. It is running the same version with no issues and not stderr output for either root nor user. That's strange because I've always been used to some output on every system I've used from debian to ubuntu. Wish I could confirm it on multiple systems. I have done a reinstall of all gedit packages and the bug persists. gdb yielded nothing interesting. Would valgrind but I'm rusty with that.
Same here (no more "Preferences" item in the menu). Except that I don't get any output on terminal even when running as root. Pietro
OK, "solved" in #gedit:
pbor: toobaz: it is in the AppMenu of gnome shell now
pbor: click on "gedit" near Activities in the top left
So,
1) it indeed works as before for users _not_ running gnome-shell,
2) you are in problems if you, as me, are using the currently available
version of the following extension (and possible others):
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/25/window-list/
In that case, disable it and wait for the update (or grab it from
github).
Jason, can you confirm that's also your case?

Dear Maintainer, I have encountered similar scenario: after todays apt-get dist upgrade, items in gedit gui - preferences stopped to respond and previous values are conserved. Although I have gedit-plugins and gedit-r-plugin installed, this bug disables their usage. I am using LXDE, so it is not just GNOME issue, probably. Thank you for your patience and possible help. ------------------------------ Pokud je tento e-mail součástí obchodního jednání, Přírodovědecká fakulta Univerzity Karlovy v Praze: a) si vyhrazuje právo jednání kdykoliv ukončit a to i bez uvedení důvodu, b) stanovuje, že smlouva musí mít písemnou formu, c) vylučuje přijetí nabídky s dodatkem či odchylkou, d) stanovuje, že smlouva je uzavřena teprve výslovným dosažením shody na všech náležitostech smlouvy.
Seems this issue is still present as of today. I can't see any information about such a big issue in gedit's bug tracking system. My guess is it's a problem with some version of GTK or Gnome library present in Stretch.
