I am not able to reproduce the crash.

Just to get the facts right:
When you try to open the file:
- you have "gedit" configured as custom editor
- you click on the open icon in the toolbar
- in the dialog box you navigate to the desired file and select it
- octave crashes

A few more questions:
- is gedit already open (you have selected "restore last session"
  in the settings)?
- in which state is the internal editor (shown, hidden, ...)?
- does octave crash when you use "edit file_name" instead?
