Bug#1055838: gnome: GNOME Text Editor not chosen or listed for text files

[Paul Menzel]

package: gnome
version: 1:44+1
severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


With Debian sid/unstable and *gnome* 1:44+1, text files, for example 
with the suffix .txt, are opened with LibreOffice Writer and not GNOME 
Text Editor (*gnome-text-editor* 45.0-1). It’s not even listed in the 
application choices. `xdg-open` also opens the text file with 
LibreOffice. In the past, *gedit was used by default, so it’d be great 
if now GNOME Text Editor could do the same.


Kind regards,

Paul
