Description sam_ 2011-07-07 18:14:01 UTC 
Reproducable.
Open system log viewer which incl. Xorg.0.log, boot.log, dmesg, kern.log and syslog.
Xorg.0.log is highlighted but not displayed, instead it displays boot.log and half of dmesg.
Expected: Display the log file which is highlighted on start.

Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1
Comment 2 b8f7cf753f0444dba15331c75f2236ca 2013-07-16 19:31:18 UTC 
Doesn't happen for me in version 3.6.1 in ubuntu 13.04 x64.
Seems like it has been corrected in newer version?
Comment 3 André Klapper 2020-09-26 09:40:44 UTC 
gnome-system-log is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than four years ago. Its codebase has been archived at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-system-log/

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
