It can also be reproduced reinstalling gedit (in this example in aarch64 architecture):

Bug #2055010 reports the first of these, but not the second, and it also reports a different issue as "the huger problem" (one that I can't reproduce). I hope I'm making the right call in opening a new bug report specifically for these regex issues. Some more details: - on the clean install, I did apply all available updates before trying to install gedit - you can also reproduce this issue from the live ("try ubuntu") environment ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: gedit 46.2-1build1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-22.22-generic 6.8.1 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs ApportVersion: 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CasperVersion: 1.496 CloudArchitecture: x86_64 CloudID: nocloud CloudName: unknown CloudPlatform: nocloud CloudSubPlatform: seed-dir (/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud) CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Apr 13 08:41:26 2024 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Beta amd64 (20240410.2) ProcEnviron: LANG=C.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: gedit UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/2061211/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
