That's what I came to say as well.

I would suggest using Geany, it is great editor especially for beginners and in the debian/ubuntu repos.

Not to mention, you should use Chromium rather than Chrome.

Chromium on Ubuntu 14.04 is lagging versions behind Chrome, even Debian stable has a version of chromium newer than 14.04.
