Thanks for your report.

I failed yo reproduce with the steps you described. What do you mean by "click on more than one folder while browsing /home/user" ?

Dialog window 'Save As'.
Browse for other folders.
Lets say there is folder A, which includes folders B,C,D,F,G.
Click on A and then on all others, gedit closes, just reproduced it.
