Please describe the problem: As I enter a space into the text file. The text file changes content-type for an unknown unexplainable reason and hence changes default launching software as well. In this case to Grapviz dot. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter into gedit, "Automatically add <p> </p> aruond paragraphs of text, unless the paragraph" 2. Save 3. Add a space and save(it is now detected as a Graphviz dot file) Actual results: First when the file is saved it is detected as text After adding a space to the end of the line it is however detected as Graphviz dot Expected results: Keep being detected as a text file. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28490754/Screenshot-1.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28490767/Screenshot-2.png comment(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587322#c1) from previously malfiled bug: This is not a problem in gedit but in the shared-mime-info. I found the following magic rule for graphiz dot files: <match value="graph " type="string" offset="0:256"/> Which nicely matches "... paragraph ". Please file a bug against shared-mime-info (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/shared-mime-info)
Fixed (changed the 0:256 into 0; people using comments in their .dot file can just call it ".dot" or ".gv" and won't need magic). The fix will be in the next release after 0.60 (I guess it will be called 0.70)
Marking as fixed.
