Try to use nano instead gedit.

=============
nano history.txt
=============
OR

try to read it from stdout .
===========================
zcat /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz
===========================

do not forget to configure terminal for unlimited printing lines.
Terminal > Edit >Profile Perferences > Scrolling > and tick "Unlimited"

Thanks
