Interesting dino99! I always use the default (Ambiance) theme. Changing to Radiance makes no difference. But changing to Adwaita restores the white background of gedit's edit window. Changing back to Ambiance or Radiance gives me the transparent window.
Is this a bug in light-themes or a rogue user setting as logging in as another user and the Guest session both show gedit to be working properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620806 Title: gedit edit window is transparent Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In a freshly booted and fully updated Ubuntu 16.10 the edit window of gedit is transparent using the *Classic* colour scheme. Other colour schemes seem to work as intended. The text of loaded files shows against the desktop wallpaper. I don't know when this started as I don't normally used gedit to edit files. I haven't found any other application affected by this problem.
