Closed medit
Brought to you by:

Hello! I have ubuntu 14.04, I installed medit.
The program itself is closed for no reason. Help fix this error, Please!
I took video, the program - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEzN029Rw_4&feature=youtu.be
How did you install it, using apt or built from sources? I tried ubuntu-14.04 and medit package which comes with it, that didn't crash. What's your medit version?
medit 1.2.0
Installed from source
Yep, I can repro it, with both medit-1.1.1 and 1.2.0. It looks like Ubuntu's Gtk tricks are somehow incompatible with medit.
I opened a bug for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1313184
Thank you for your response!
Please let me know when the problem will be solved.

My ubuntu 14 often received updates, but the problem is not solved unfortunately

Ubuntu bug is still there, see the link above.
As a workaround you must disable the local menu
/usr/share/applications/medit.desktop
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= medit %F
I entered this code in the file medit.desktop but Medit still does not start.

Should be tested again. The bug report on LaunchPad says unity-gtk-module was fixed on 2014-07-16 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1313184/comments/5
I suppose that unity-gtk-module fix was only for Ubuntu 14.10.
In my Ubuntu 14.04.02 32bit with all updates medit still crashes.
medit version is 1.1.1-2 i386
Here the result of running medit in gdb after clicking button 'Create new file' in toolbar:

I had the same problem with medit crashing just after opening under Ubuntu 14.04. Then I decided to try using sudo to launch medit (because it was complaining about some MooEditConfig attributes it had tried to adjust after the class had been initialized). It worked, both for version 1.2 and for the somewhat older 1.1.93-devel I also have installed. That means the error may not have to do with GTK, at least not in the expected manner.
