   Hello There,   
      
   Running Ubuntu 19.04 I wanted to install an alternative simple text file   
   editor. Using the "Ubuntu Software" app I chose two text file editors to   
   install. Gedit v3.32.0 and Notepad3. Both seemed to install fine. Upon trying   
   to open a text file in Gedit I am told "You do not have permissions necessary   
   to open the file." Even  though I created the file and have full read/write   
   permissions for  the file. The same response is given regardless of what   
   existing  text file is opened with Gedit. The original/default text file   
   editor opened the same text file(s) fine.    
      
   Now... If that wasn't odd enough I also installed Notepad3 using  the same   
   "Ubuntu Software" app. Upon trying to open the same text file I am presented   
   with the error:   
    "Error loading z:\home\jeffs\Documents\rules.txt Access Denied".   
   Looks like Notepad3 thinks it's a Windows app. Notepad3 opens up fine but it   
   can't open files presumably because it is expecting a Windows filesystem. If   
   that is the case then why is it being  offered as a Linux editor via the   
   "Ubuntu Software" app?
