[Bug 874134] [NEW] snippets delete selected text with non-ascii characters

 

Public bug reported:

$GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT variable used in snippets does not work correctly for non-ascii characters.
For example, the standard LaTeX macro:

{\\${1:bf} $GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT}

works correctly for 'alpha' text, giving:
{\bf alpha}

but for any utf-8 sequence, like 'głąb' deletes the selected text, producing
{\bf }

if gedit is run from the terminal, the following message appears:
Token class not supported: environment
