Please describe the problem:
In gedit, when automatic spell checking is on, misspelled words are underlined
with a squiggly red line.. When you try to get properties of such text using
gettextproperty() function, gedit crashes.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable automatic spell checking in gedit (Enable spell-checker plugin in
edit->preferences, and then enable the checking in tools->automatic spell
checking).
2. Type some misspelled word like teh. Gedit will underline the word in red
3. Open a python shell, and give the commands from ldtp import * and then
gettextproperty('*gedit','txt0',0,2) (assuming you typed teh in a new
document.If not, change parameters accordingly)


Actual results:
Gedit crashes, and gettextproperty returns a "Unable to get property"

Expected results:
Some or no output from gettextproperty(Not "unable to get property"). Atleast,
gedit should not crash.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, everytime
