Description Ignacio Casal Quinteiro (nacho) 2011-10-01 14:05:39 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #502947 +++

The way to fix this is to modify gedit-document-input-stream and make something similar as when we escape the text in the output-stream.

If bug #637270 is fixed, the invalid chars don't need to be escaped when they are inserted into the buffer, so no need to unescape them on saving.

*** Bug 690531 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Actually Bug 690531 is not a dup of this.
Comment 4 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 11:02:34 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
