Description xeddvok7bd7464n2 2011-11-04 21:51:15 UTC
Description of problem:

The 'Join Lines' plugin simply does not work anymore, means it does not split lines. In fact, only 50% of the plugin does not work - the 'Split Lines' feature still does work. The plugin did work 100% in the past (Gnome 2) and it still does using Debian (version 2.30.0-1 of 'gedit-plugins').


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.0.7-1.fc15


How reproducible:

see below


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open or create a document with some lines of text in Gedit
2. Select the lines
3. Click on 'Edit > Join Lines'


Actual results:

Nothing happens. There's some error message when starting Gedit from the terminal (see 'Additional info').


Expected results:

The plugins should join the lines.


Additional info:

Terminal error message:

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 17:05:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 21:27:31 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
