Package: gedit Version: 3.14.0-3 Severity: normal Try these commands
$ echo foo > bar $ gedit --wait bar [...] should block until file bar is closed in gedit If a gedit process is already running, the document will be opened as a new tab in the existing process and the second gedit process will return immediately. Instead, the second gedit process should block until the tab is closed. If it returns immediately, "gedit --wait" becomes unsuitable to use as $EDITOR or as core.editor with git. -- Package-specific info: Active plugins: - 'docinfo' - 'commander' - 'modelines' - 'git' - 'multiedit' - 'filebrowser' - 'spell' - 'time' No plugin installed in $HOME.
