Unfortunately. It looks like it is systemd thing indeed, according to
this:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254378/how-to-set-umask-for-the-entire-gnome-session#254923
and this
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6077
It also looks like it does not have workaround. Except to touch file
from terminal before editing it in gedit( if it is login shell, for
gnome-terminal edit > profile preferences > command > run command as
login shell ). Or even better launch gedit from that terminal, it will
have right umask settings. Or, make custom shortcut that will launch
terminal and gedit from it at same time, something like gnome-terminal
-e gedit. Sorry, but not much more help with systemd involved, I'm
afraid.
