Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

Version of gedit: 2.24.0-0ubuntu1
Version of Ubuntu: 8.10

What I do: gedit foo.txt &

What happens: gedit window freezes (no updates, no painting) until I go
back to the terminal window and bring the process to the foreground
(with fg).

What should happen: gedit should not freeze.

Diagnosis: gedit outputs stuff to the standard output. Being
backgrounded, this freezes the process, thereby freezing the window as
well.

Example of output:
sys:1: GtkWarning: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gdk/x11/gdkproperty-x11.c:318 
invalid X atom: 929

** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
