This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
I submitted bug 180043 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169123 which is marked as a duplicate (CLOSED DUPLICATE) of this bug, and affected FC4. I can confirm that this bug does *not* affect .txt files when using gedit-2.14.3-1.x86_64 under FC5 x86_64 (Gnome 2.14).

Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report.
