Bug#1109430: unblock: gnome-text-editor/48.3-3

[Simon McVittie]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-text-editor at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-text-editor
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package gnome-text-editor. As with other unblocks, this 
could turn into a trixie-pu request if it's too late for 13.0.

[ Reason ]

New upstream bugfix release

[ Impact ]

When automatically guessing a document title from the first line of an 
unsaved text file, previous versions would treat non-alphanumeric 
Unicode codepoints as whitespace and replace them with spaces, which 
breaks scripts that use composing characters and require letter-shaping 
(the one mentioned upstream was Devanagari, Arabic might also be 
affected).

The cursor position was shown by counting characters, which mis-counted 
tabs (a byte advances the cursor by multiple spaces) and combining 
characters (a codepoint that does not advance the cursor).

The text editor was meant to inhibit logout until any unsaved changes 
were saved or explicitly discarded, but this functionality was broken by 
subtleties of the startup sequence.

"Save as" didn't update the document name in the Properties panel.

[ Tests ]

Briefly tested manually. Other distributions like Fedora are already 
shipping this version.

[ Risks ]

Key package, default text editor for our default desktop environment.

I don't routinely use this text editor (I'm mainly a vim user), so my 
testing was fairly superficial, and similarly most other GNOME 
developers probably use a more fully-featured programmers' editor like 
vim, emacs, GNOME Builder or gedit.

[ Checklist ]

  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
      (filtered to exclude translations)
