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?
