Como posso parar o gvim de travar ao abrir um arquivo?

Estou no Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 LTS e gvim(vim com interface gráfica do usuário) continua travando quando tento abrir qualquer arquivo usando a GUI / menu. No entanto, consegui abrir um arquivo do terminal, por exemplo:

user@computer:~$ vim -g ./path/to/file

As seguintes mensagens de erro são impressas no terminal se eu iniciar a gvimpartir do terminal usando vim -ge depois causar a falha ao tentar abrir um arquivo através da barra de menus / GUI:

(gvim:20175): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_ptr_array_insert: assertion 'index_ <= (gint)rarray->len' failed

** (gvim:20175): CRITICAL **: unity_gtk_menu_shell_get_item: assertion '0 <= index && index < items->len' failed

Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV

Estes são os pacotes relacionados ao vim que eu instalei:

user@computer:~$ apt list --installed | grep vim

As coisas quebraram quando eu atualizei e resolvi com:

sudo apt-get remove vim-gtk3
sudo apt-get install vim-gtk

vim-gnomemencionado na resposta de Adam P diz que aponta vim-gtk3, então nada mudaria.

vim-gtk no entanto, diz que usa gtk 2 e funcionou.

Consegui parar a falha (até agora) desinstalando o vim-gtk3pacote e instalando o vim-gnomepacote.

Desinstalar vim-gtk3:

Para o meu caso, primeiro removi o gvim instalado por:

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove vim-gtk3

Então eu instalei o gvim com:

sudo apt install vim-gtk3-py2 

A propósito, estou usando o Vim8 de:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim
