Subj : Odd??

Hello There,

Running Ubuntu 19.04 I wanted to install an alternative simple text file 
editor. Using the "Ubuntu Software" app I chose two text file editors to 
install. Gedit v3.32.0 and Notepad3. Both seemed to install fine. Upon trying 
to open a text file in Gedit I am told "You do not have permissions necessary 
to open the file." Even  though I created the file and have full read/write 
permissions for  the file. The same response is given regardless of what 
existing  text file is opened with Gedit. The original/default text file editor 
opened the same text file(s) fine. 

Now... If that wasn't odd enough I also installed Notepad3 using  the same 
"Ubuntu Software" app. Upon trying to open the same text file I am presented 
with the error:
 "Error loading z:\home\jeffs\Documents\rules.txt Access Denied".
Looks like Notepad3 thinks it's a Windows app. Notepad3 opens up fine but it 
can't open files presumably because it is expecting a Windows filesystem. If 
that is the case then why is it being  offered as a Linux editor via the 
"Ubuntu Software" app?
