Actually, that's interesting. I was going to write a test program, however, just when creating the test text file, it gets funky in gedit (when word wrapping is off). As soon as I insert the 4098th character, the line "disappears" and "reappears" again near the beginning of the line but kind of flakey.
Could it be hitting the maximum size of a pango layout object? Pango keeps coordinates as fixed point 12.10 bits, so I imagine single layouts larger than 4096 pixels would overflow. Though I can't see why the 4098's character would do it. Just guessing. John
