In gedit 3.8, after changing some of the menu shortcuts and restarting, those changes are lost. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable can-change-accels in org.gnome.desktop.interface 2. Open a text file in gedit 3. Assign an accelerator to a menu item (e.g., Ctrl+U to Edit>Change Case>Invert Case) 4. Try the new accelerator (it works!) 5. Close all instances of gedit and reopen 6. Try the new accelerator (it doesn't work!) In gedit 3.4.x and older, the change worked properly.
