Timothy Arceri (t-fridey) has assigned this bug to you for gedit in Ubuntu:

Binary package hint: gedit


Hi,

I was editing a text file when the cursor began to behave strangely. The
file contained these lines:

CREATE TABLE people(
	integer primary key,
	name varchar(50),
	age integer
)

When I put the cursor after the 'l' in 'people', the arrow key would not
move the cursor to the right. Instead it jumped to the next line.
Similarly, I could not add text at this position.

Viewing the file in a hex editor revealed a lot of spaces (284 to be
accurate) after the opening parenthesis. Probably I've added those
spaces without knowing it (resting my book "beginning Ruby" on the space
bar ^ ^). Still, I feel the editor should handle a few hundred chars on
a line without misbehaviour.

I attached a copy of the text file.

Thanks for developing and maintaining this simple but useful editor!
