Status in gedit:
Fix Released

Bug description:
[Impact]
Gedit crashes when it is closed while a file is being loaded or just after
the file has been loaded.
The bug is a regression in Disco: in Cosmic Gedit is built using
autotools while in Disco we use meson. During the port to meson
upstream forgot to port a build option (in particular 'enable-gvfs-
metadata', enabled by default). Without this option a broken - and
untested - code path is activated.
To fix this bug we should reintroduce the 'enable-gvfs-metadata'
option.
[Test case]
1. Create a big text file
2. Open gedit
3. Close the window while the file is still being loaded
Also check there are no more reports in e.u.c.
[Regression Potential]
The change affects the way gedit stores the file metadata. Try for example
1. open a file
2. focus a random line
3. close the file
4. re-open the file
5. make sure the random line that you focused in point 2. is focused
