Re: Fedora 35 - gedit

[Michael J. Baars]

Hi Adam,

I didn't install any update, apparently the update is already included with
the release version of Fedora 35, because it won't install from the command
line and the versions from the build match the versions from the release.
This is a fresh installation of Fedora 35 Workstation, done the day before
yesterday.

So, with the updates INCLUDED instead of installed, the mouse pointer and
the cursor (still) act strange when running gedit. When I try to move the
mouse into position and click to move the cursor into position, for example
to cut and past text, both OFTEN (say 50% of these attempts) end up on a
completely different line number, sometimes even selecting some text in the
process.

The updates as provided by the build and as included in the release version
of Fedora 35, do therefore not function as intended.

Precise sequence of steps:
1) turn on computer
2) open text files from file manager
3) start editing

Nothing more, nothing less, nothing out of the ordinary either. The problem
had never reveiled itself on another one of my computers, which is still
running Fedora 32 Workstation. It's definitely new, impossible to overlook,
and impossible to ignore when your used to working with gedit as your
default editor as I am.

Best regards,
Mischa Baars.
