Fails to load on gedit 46.1; Manjaro 23.1.0

[javadr]

When running gedit, I encounter the following error when configuring the settings to display the review on the side panel. However, it's worth noting that everything functions correctly when the default setting is to display the output in the bottom pane. It appears that in the latest update of GNOME, some functions have been either removed or renamed.

The error I got is:

WARNING:reST:Falling back to old implementation. Reason: 'PanelContainer' object has no attribute 'add_titled'

Thank you so much for the valuable feedback!

Can you share which Linux distribution you're running and which is your version of GNOME (e.g. lsb_release -a and/or Desktop > Settings > About)?

I've tried to investigate how to come up with a test suite that runs against all current versions of GNOME (see #27), which would let us detect such cases early on, but unfortunately I've not been successful so far. If anyone knows or has a good idea I'd be happy to know!

Oh, it's in the title: Manjaro 23.1.0, I apologize! GNOME version might still be interesting.

Note to self

Just for the sake of documentation, I'm running gedit 41.0 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS with GNOME 42.9, and the issues do not occur yet. Though, I get the following stack trace when pressing the Preferences button in the "Plugins" tab.

Have you seen https://gedit-technology.net/developer-docs/gedit/api-breaks.html? It seems some methods have been removed or renamed!

[javadr]

API Breaks has been moved to the following address: https://gedit-technology.github.io/developer-docs/gedit/api-breaks.html

Thanks @javadr for keeping the development information updated! I'll try to get around fixing the issue after Christmas or New Year. Thank you for your patience!

I managed to install gedit 46.1 from flathub, but I can't get it to detect and load the plugin. Neither of the directories as of the installation instructions in the README seem to be considered.

How did you install the plugin? Did you do anything different?

[bittner]

When installed with flatpak the plugins directory is in ~/.var/app/org.gnome.gedit/data/gedit/plugins/. I'll update the README to reflect this.
