"I opened
Preferences -> Edit -> Selected to use spaces instead of tabs.
Then I tried to change the number of spaces for tab and noticed it wasn't responding
gedit went gray yet the preferences dialog didn't, but neater it was responding.
Then gedit closed/crashed and the report dialog was prompted."

Comment 1 Sébastien Wilmet 2014-12-18 09:32:18 UTC

The code has changed wrt the insert-spaces-instead-of-tabs setting. It is now a GSettings <-> property binding. So I think this bug is fixed. Feel free to reopen if there is still a problem with gedit 3.14 or later.
