reference count of textbuffer increases with each paste?

[Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema <hdnews gawab com>]

L.S.,

I'm experiencing the following on WIN32:

When I do Copy; Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, 
Paste, Paste
From within the same gtktextbuffer, I see a dramatic increase of the 
reference count
of the GtkTextBuffer.

If I do analogous: Copy from notepad; Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, 
Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste, Paste
I see no increase of the reference count at all.

Is this a feature or a bug of GtkTextBuffer?

Best whishes,
