Gedit freezes on closing or when opening another file (due to drawspaces plugin)
Whenever I open Gedit and then close it or open another file from the integrated file browser in the side bar, it freezes. The only way out of the freeze is to press Ctrl+C
when started from command line, or execute killall gedit
when started from file manager.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Gedit with any file of your choice.
- Either click the close button in the header bar, or double click on one of the files in the side bar file browser.
Below is
- my gedit version
- the gedit plugins I have installed
- gedit's output before freezing
~$ gedit --version
gedit - Version 3.36.2

Please help quickly, because I'm working on a program right now and Gedit is my favorite text editor and almost-IDE ! :)
