Text Editor is the first entry on the left of the Most Frequently Used Dash menu.
Every other invocation fails to launch gedit. The Text Editor icon displays in the launcher, blinks a few times, goes away, and nothing happens. gedit is not launched.
This is reproducible systematically for every other (2nd) invocation during this boot session.
I will try to reboot and see if this problem persists.

I have rebooted 3x and the problem is reproducible across all 3 boots.
Every odd (1,3,5) invocation fails. Under these circumstances, the Text Editor icon blinks 4x in the launcher and then disappears. gedit is not launched.
Every even (2,4) invocation works. The Text Editor icon blinks 3x (try #2) and 1x (try #4).
The icon blink counts were only measured on boot #3.
