gedit does not display "grid pattern"

Possibly after the update from 21.04 to 21.10, the standard GNOME editor gedit started not displaying the background grid pattern.

  • I tried to unset and set the Display grid pattern setting from gedit's Preferences / View tab: Nothing changed. (All the other options -- except this one -- work as expected.)

  • Using dconf-editor, I tried to change org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor.background-pattern attribute to 'default', 'none', and then back to 'grid': Nothing changed.

  • Similarly, running the commands gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor background-pattern 'none' and gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor background-pattern 'grid' has no effect.

  • I tried to remove ~/.cache and ~/.config/gedit: Nothing changed.

  • I tried to login with Wayland, XOrg, etc. Also, I tried to change themes using gnome-tweaks: The problem stays the same.

On another (rarely used) user on the same system gedit works as expected: It displays or hides the grid depending on the selection Display grid pattern in Peferences / View tab. I am also able to change the "grid pattern" for the root user, after running sudo -H gedit for example.

This problem seems to be present only on my "main" user.

The Applications Theme I use in my current user is "Adwaita (default)" and it is not a dark theme.

The Color Scheme in gedit is "Yaru".

Which theme are you using in Ubuntu? Is it a dark theme? Which color scheme are you using in gedit?

It turns out that the "Yaru" (previously called "Yaru-light" in 21.04) Color Scheme was accidentally selected in gedit's Preferences → Font & Colors. This scheme—even having a white background—does not allow the grid to be displayed. The other "light" schemes do not have this problem.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
