Title:
  gedit crashed with SIGSEGV

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  Unknown
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:

  I was using the snippet completion plugin. After using control+space
  to open the completion list. pressed the details button to see more
  about the selection. gedit went belly up:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/snippets/completion.py", line 126, in do_get_info_widget
      view = Gedit.View(Gedit.Document())
  TypeError: GObject.__init__() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)

  ^ This looks like a python gi error. Classes that descend from gobject must be initialised using keyword arguments. I expect the problem line to be written as
      view = Gedit.View(doc=Gedit.Document())
  per http://developer.gnome.org/gedit/stable/gedit-gedit-view.html#gedit-view-new
