This was a bug in the gtksourceview version shipped with FC6... the bug
was fixed just a few days later but unfortunately FC6 decided to ship
with very early versions of gnome (e.g. gedit 2.15.9, which was supposed
to be a developement release) and has bugs here and there.
To fix the problem you need to upgrade the version of gtksourceview
manually... or maybe switch to FC7 :)
