[PJSingh5000 <1387219@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a Confirmed bug, but it has not been assigned, so I don't think
a solution is in sight, yet.

Gedit is such a critical application for me, I had to reinstall Ubuntu
14.04.

As a result, I can't test if upstream GTK+3 v 4.14 solves the problem,
or if this is an incorrect hunch on my part.

If anyone wants to try, you can download the appropriate deb file
directly from Debian and install it using dpkg -i ...

AMD64
    https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libgtk-3-0/download

i386
    https://packages.debian.org/jessie/i386/libgtk-3-0/download

If you try this, remember, libgtk-3-0 v 3.14.4-1 is still in testing.

Also please share your findings with us.
