[gedit-list] Bug in gedit external command facility (ver. 2.30.3)

[Finnian Reilly <finnian eiffel-loop com>]

Dear gedit developers
when using a shell script as an gedit external tool, the '-e' option for the echo command is being output along with the echo text argument. This is not supposed to happen.

For example, open a bash shell and type:

echo -e "\tThis is an indented line"

You will see:

This is an indented line

How ever from a gedit external tool script the output you get is:

-e     This is an indented line

This is a problem if you are trying to append something to a file using echo.

Apart form that it's a great editor. I use it all the time.

Kind regards
